Review: Yesterday's Tomorrow

Yesterday's Tomorrow by Suvika
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book of Suvika that I read. The story moves quickly and is a light read to relax with. The plot is quite interesting, though the unveiling of it is quite simplistic.

Samaira has been missing and is found with serious injuries. Her husband Dhruv finds her and she is admitted to hospital in a critical condition. Dhruv is a neurologist himself, and he and Samaira were in the cooling period for a divorce. This is as a result of DCP Prithvi’s growing closeness to Samaira. Samaira works in the Cyber Crime division of Pune police, and she and Prithvi are colleagues at work. There is a strange marking on Samaira, a pattern also visible in a few other crimes. It looks like Samaira is one of the victims of a series of crimes – some especially heinous.

Samaira has no memory of the last 6 years, and as a result does not even remember her marriage or subsequent troubles in the marriage. While this could be the opportunity for Dhruv to mend the relationship, Samaira is also key to cracking the case.

The story behind the crimes is quite interesting. At the same time, there is very little behind deciphering the crimes (investigation, forensics or otherwise) and it happens by chance. While there is nothing wrong with that, after all chance does play a big role many times, the story had far greater potential. Well worth a quick read.

My rating: 3.75 / 5.
