My Rating: 5 of 5 stars *****
'Blight' aroused interest in me primarily because it was a crime thriller and I have been very keenly studying different story telling styles in this genre as part of my research. Prior to reading this book, I had watched several crime movies with the same purpose in mind.
When I finished reading 'Blight', one of the many things that impressed me most was how author Leena, after having introduced the protagonist Indrani Sampath in a very simple manner, was able to make her earn my huge respect for the way she handled the case, despite facing obstacles from all quarters.
The story has been crafted beautifully, beginning with an insignificant speck and finally unravelling into a layered maze of crime, convincing the reader of a plot that is worth a pursuit. The research that has gone into building this plot calls for appreciation.
Characterization has been beautifully done and Leena has been able to bring out the real feel of the characters for the reader especially the minute vibrations emanating out of some of the characters. I could feel those vibrations. I like the way Leena has managed the turmoil happening within Indrani while in the committed pursuit of this case.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the author's deft usage of vocabulary and being very circumspect about the same while crafting my writings, this book has been a reiteration that a writer should never hesitate using the right words even if they ended up being challenging for the reader to comprehend.
You will enjoy the suspense and the thrill that gets embellished with the impediments that reality brings in.
Looking forward to reading more crime thrillers from Leena.
