The double murder of Aarushi Talwar and domestic servant Hemraj in 2008 had sent shock waves among the masses. Even though the parents of the girl were accused of committing the heinous crime and were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013, the Allahabad High Court acquitted them in 2017. The case proved to be a real-life murder mystery that remains unsolved to this day. So, naturally inspired several works of fiction including quite a few literary works. I recently came across one such book written by Rajesh Talwar( not related to the family) and aptly titled The Killing Of Aarushi And The Murder Of Justice.
Read the author’s interview here: Rajesh Talwar
When I first started reading the book, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the fact that it is about one of the most gruesome crimes of the 21st century. The book provides vivid details about the historical backdrop of the case along with how the state police botched up the investigation. It also narrates the various aspects of how the investigation was handled by the first and the second CBI teams. The book also highlights the discrepancies that formed an integral part of the entire investigation from the very start as well as the various manipulations that seem to have been undertaken to make the parents look guilty of the crime anyhow.
There were times when tears rolled down my cheeks while reading the book and at other times I felt goosebumps on my entire body. The power narration by Mr. Talwar doubts he raised about the handling of the investigation and the gross oversight committed at various times, which left many questions unanswered made me feel dumbfounded. The author has divided the book into four sections and each section deals with a separate aspect of the case and I consider it to be the most realistic, clear, and convincing account of the tragedy.

Again a thriller one???????????? I love such books
Although I have watched the movie. Yet I’m curious to know the facts and points hidden in this book.
I really wanna explore and know what and how the all the incident took place..
Overall feeling sad for that little girl????
Having based on such a controversial case of India, this book surely sounds intriguing. And seems perfect for true crime fiction lovers.
Oh wow! I am not familiar with this case but it sounds quite horrendous! I will have to check it out and learn about what happened. It is so sad that these events happen and that justice is so hard to find for the victims. I hope they eventually solve the case and the family can be at peace.
This was one of the biggest cases in India. I’m sure the book will have a lot of details. Thanks for the review. Thanks
Few months back I got this book to reveiw. But I was like no I will not read this may be I will tell Kuch more weak. But now I feel this kind of vibe that I repent it much more. ☺️
I’ve already watched the movie but after reading your review, I want to read the book to know the actual facts of the incident.
Heard a lot about these books lately. I remember somethings about this case but I think I will have to read the book to understand it better.
I am definitely getting this book. I have watched the adaptation it was outstanding. Would love to know more facts about the case.
To be honest, reading books related to real life incidents can b hard and daunting. The way you have expressed your thoughts makes me feel to read it. But at the same time I am reluctant. I hope I can gather some courage to read such books soon.
Another thriller,, okk this should be going directly to TBR!!!
