Book review: Shut the lights

 Book review:

🌸 Shut the lights is a story of a family stuck together for better or worse as the Indian Government declared a three-week lockdown as a containment measure for Covid -19.

🌸 Suvini, Mridul, Damien and Tara belonged to an upper-middle-class family, each of them secretly had a dark secret that threatened to derail their existence. In the ongoing busy life, where everyone is busy in himself this lockdown will act as a blessing or curse to part everyone. It's quite interesting to find out.

🌸 Suvini tries hard to cope without a maid, children fearing their parents may not spy on them, husband busy on the phone or doing nothing. A well-portrayed scene of each family in pandemic where the mentality of Indian men and women got changed or was forced to change due to limited sources and lack of extra help.

🌸 The author has beautifully portrayed the scenes and indirectly explained how to present crimes are built on past mischievousness. The language is lucid and well-versed for beginner friendly. A deep insight into the daily issues faced by parents nowadays is well penned.

🌸The suspense about the secrets and what will happen next kept me intrigued till the end and I finished it in one sitting. I loved reading this book and would recommend this to all fictional thriller book lovers.

🌸 Few quotes from the book :

"Housework is hard work."

"Perceptions create reality."

🌸Happy Reading!
