Hi Viji,
This story is just awesome...I came across this yesterday evening and have been reading it all night.
I am a fan of thrillers and mysteries but nothing ever gives me the satisfaction of reading a Agatha Christie mystery...I have read most of her books every time she leaves me surprised...a perfect plot starting with one murder ...then the introduction of the various characters...then some words from those involved...then the murderer's move again...and then our detective strikes...the murderer is caught with all the proofs..and this story is just like that.
From the beginning I had a feeling there are 2 muderers involved...somehow there is a difference between the first murder which seemed kind of sudden and the other 2 planned out rather well...with Uttara and Adarsh the murderer seemed ready to wait...but I wasnt sure...maybe they were less of a threat than Megha Kaki.
My suspect is Ragini... a woman has better access sometimes to the happenings in a home...She could have overheard something said by Kaki and got to know the truth...now if this truth should come out it wouldn't be good for her husband ...Adarsh is already trying to throw Lakshya out of the party ...he is new to the party and the biggest strength he has is that he is Durga Prasad's son...once that is lost Lakshya would suffer...the first chapter we were told that Ragini fell in love with him very quickly...so it seems she would do anything for him...Ragini has the opportunity too...the first morning she could have called Kaki to the shed and got held up with her duties..She said Laksh went swimming but Sanskaar says the floor was not damp.. .so maybe Laksh was somewhere else...She was late at the table for dinner when Uttara was attacked...maybe Durga Prasad was never supposed to die..
Just a distraction to attack Adarsh...she would have access to both the kitchen and DP' s room.
Anyway I am dying to get the next update...i guess the reply is too long...just my random theories.
Plz update soon.
And please write more of these kind.
