When I first read the name of the book “Only The Good Die Young: And I’m Not A Saint”, I believed it to be a self-help book of some type. So, I was really surprised to learn that the book is actually a crime thriller and a sequel to an earlier book written by Akash Verma. Even though I was a bit skeptical about reading the sequel of a book I had not read, my interest was piqued and so I began in earnest.
A heartbroken Anuradha moves from Gurugram to Mumbai, when her married boyfriend, Dhruv leaves her for his family. However, as Anuradha tries to begin a new life in the city of dreams, Dhruv reenters her life. While the two are still trying to assess their relationship and their life, Anuradha’s friends suddenly start dying mysteriously. Now Anuradha and Dhruv need to find out who is behind all this before it is too late for them both.
Only The Good Die Young has all the elements of a great crime thriller, including an exciting plot, whacky characters, and the elements of suspense and surprises scattered throughout the book. Most importantly, even though, I had not read the prequel of the book, I had no difficulty in following the story nor did it impact my reading in any other way. Overall the book proved to be extremely delightful and I wish Akash all the best for its success.

This sounds really good from your review. It’s been a while since I’ve read a crime thriller. It’s great that you could still get into this book even though you haven’t read the prequel for it. It must be really good.
Great review. I have been seeing this book around a lot. Sounds really interesting.
Great review. I’ve been hearing a lot about this book
I’ve beenvreafing a lot of mixed reviews about this book… thank you for the recommendation…
Ooh.. that’s a great title!! Sounds really good.. I like crime thrillers. Adding this to my wishlist ✨
Great review. Even I liked this one! Thanks!
I felt you when you said whacky characters, I mean the obsession of sid was creepy and cunning at the same time but eventually you get to guess what’s gonna happen in the end.
I have also read this book. This is a wonderful feeling to know the book from such a wonderful person who give such honest reviews.
It’s always strange reading books that are a different genre than you believed them to be upon picking up… I’m glad this turned out well for you!
Lovely cover! And I was gripped by the title as well. Wonderful review! 🙂
Wow the cover is well made
