When Jenny sees the picture of a boy in a travel magazine, she is stunned. He is a dead ringer for her friend Rubina. But the boy is supposed to be dead. Ten years ago, Jenny had failed to save Rubina and the infant from the clutches of the charming leader of a dangerous cult who led his flock to a mass suicide.

Jenny’s journey to find the boy leads her to a sleepy village in Rajasthan, where she comes across Virat, a police officer investigating the discovery of a decomposed leg from a construction site. Are the two cases linked? As her past threatens to catch up with her, Virat and Jenny get involved in a cat-and mouse game that leads to a diabolical climax.

Taking off from the notorious Peoples Temple mass suicide murder led by the charismatic Jim Jones, and told from multiple points of view, Until I Find You is a grim and brutal thriller where the arid landscape of Rajasthan is as much a character as the shadowy dramatis personae.

Review : 

What a terrific thriller. Sensational read.

Someone who has not read a book in years or struggles to get into books this book is handmade for them. I couldn't put this one down. The thrilling story takes twists and turns and has you on the edge of your seat. The central characters are likeable and written brilliantly. I could picture them clearly in my mind. I particularly enjoyed the character of Jenny and Virat. This story is cleverly written and I found no inconsistencies. The language of the book is simple and easy to understand and the cover page of the book is apt to the content of the book. The content is very memorable and I will not soon forget about this one.

I highly recommend it to all the thriller fan.

After the conclusion of the Trojan War, the Greek hero Odysseus had to wander for ten years facing numerous difficulties in different lands before he could finally return to his kingdom Ithaca. These difficulties and wanderings of Odysseus came to be known as the Odyssey. The author too, in his quest for making sense of this complex world, undertook deep research and observation to write twenty essays over a period of ten years. After wandering through the various countries of the mind such as psychology, political philosophy, sociology, ecology, history, philosophy and the impact of technology on human society and culture – the author makes us face profound questions about the present state of our society, culture and civilization. Is the Internet taking a toll on our ability to focus and concentrate? On our very intelligence? Why do people suffer from Mid Life Blues? Is Artificial Intelligence an unmitigated blessing? Why do we suffer from loneliness and alienation in spite of being connected all the time? In an era of cyber connectivity and digital footprint, is freedom really possible? Why is identity politics erupting all over the world? With robots as baby sitters, sex companions and care givers for the elders, what is going to be the future of love and relationships? Is it possible to find security in an ever-changing dynamic world? These are some of the enchanting countries of the mind that the author explores. This is a mental journey of epic proportions. This is an Odyssey of the Mind.

Review : 

Honestly, the book is very well written and covers a wide range of topics that are relevant to many people. The essays are short and easy to read and understand as well. The book is very insightful and offers a lot of practical advices for dealing with everyday challenges and struggle. I love how this book is artfully written yet is extremely relevant to every single chapter we used to currently and deal in life. This is very first book by this author and I plan to read more.
