Unlawful Justice by Vish Dhamija- Review

-





Book: Unlawful Justice

Author: Vish Dhamija 

Publisher: Harper Collins

Pages: 294

Genre: Fiction and legal thriller

My Rating: 3.5/5 stars 

Recommend: Yes


The story starts with a 16-year-old girl (baby), who was brutally raped by a spoilt son (Maheep) of a powerful man (Maninder Singh), who worked for corrupt politician and criminals. Baby was a daughter of a maidservant who worked at the house of Diwan's family.  Vansh Diwan, a top-shot criminal lawyer, is now in a dilemma to either save Baby and bring her justice or help his biggest client Maninder Singh to effortlessly get away with it.  His wife, Priti Diwan is a woman with principles and could do anything to bring the accused behind bars. Priti is disappointed and devasted by her husband's act. So, she decided to involve their college friend into the picture- Akash Hingorani.

Akash Hingorani is an eminent criminal lawyer, the only hope that Baby has, but soon after his involvement, the rape case was turned into a murder mystery. The story moves around from crime investigation to courtroom drama.

"Justice? You get justice in the next world. In this one, you have the law."


Review:

What I liked about the book is from the first page, I was into it.  I don't read many crime fiction books, but this is a pick for those who love reading thriller and courtroom drama. The character's description and their past story in this book are to the point and not overemphasized. The author has done justice to all the characters, and the plot was very good. Though I anticipated the ending of the book, which is why I was disappointed in the end.

What I appreciate is the use of legal jargon which is very understandable, and at some points, the author tried to explain the law in a simple language. The writing style was gripping and fast-paced. Though I was dumbfounded in some parts and just keep on figuring out 'how did that happen?'

I overall really liked the book and would recommend to everyone. The writing style was astounding and easy read.

ME BEFORE YOU BY JOJO MOYES

Blurb:   Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. I hesitated first to read this book because romance genre is not my cup of tea.  Romance genre seem to be always average for me.  I tried to read some books to change my perception but only disappointment comes in. So, I convinced myself to read this book and I was

PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTNING THEIF

Arrrghhhh... PERCY JACKSON!!! Okay. I've had this book since a really long time, but never read it because? I seriously can't remember the reason anymore. I cannot believe I've waited this looooong to get to this book, because this book is everything! So to start, the best thing I like about this series is that it's set in the 21st century, so it's relatable (well not in a demigod-ish camp-halfblood way). The character development is amazing, and so is the friendship development. Also the way this story just molds with Greek Mythology and has so much greek elements to it is just so fascinating. All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus
