Book Review of Until I Find You – A Captivating And Brutal Thriller By Kanchana Banerjee
The People’s Temple mass-murder suicide of 1978 led by the founder Jim Jones was one of the most inhumane acts in history. The event has inspired many literary works, almost all of which are credited to foreign authors.
While Until I Find You is not exactly inspired by the mass-murder suicide of 1978, it does take off from the event. The book penned by Kanchana Banerjee is a captivating and brutal thriller that explores the darkness inside human beings.
Premise – Until I Find You
Jenny’s world turns upside down after she comes across the picture of a boy in a travel magazine. The boy bears an uncanny resemblance to her friend Rubina, who lost her life nearly a decade back in a mass suicide that was inspired by a dangerous and charismatic cult leader. Driven by the guilt of not being able to save Rubina, Jenny sets out on a journey to learn more about the boy. Her investigations lead her to a small sleepy village in Rajasthan, where her path crosses with Inspector Virat. Virat is trying to solve the mystery of a decomposed leg found at a construction site. As the two continue their search for truth, they uncover facts that indicate the possibility of more sinister happenings.

The author has built the characters of Jeeny and Virat quite convincingly such that the readers believe in them. She also needs to be applauded for bringing the arid landscape of Rajasthan to life in such a manner that it seems like a character of the book.
Plot – Until I Find You
Set in the backdrop of Rajasthan, the book draws inspiration from the notorious mass-murder suicide led by Jim Jones in 1978.
