As civilization, lifestyle and times have changed, the genres that are favoured in literature also change. In present time, the genre of murder mystery/suspense thriller/ mystery fiction is a fast evolving genre and continues to get more popular among both readers and writers. A marvel in this genre is Debleena Majumdar’s book, “A Marketplace for Murder”. As intriguing as the title sounds, the text does all justice to match up to it. The story is fast paced and packed up with a series of multiple events and issues that keep the reader stuck to the text as long as it continues.
“A Marketplace for Murder” has a clear reflection of the modern day woman who works and earns her living. This is well portrayed through the protagonist, Leena. Other than that, the major issue of crime and how it is affecting the human community at present finds a strong representation in the plot. The story becomes an appealing read for the ones who are familiar with the city and corporate culture or have a close understanding of it. Such kind of work is what appears to be much more realistic and closer to life. For all those who are in search of reading something beyond mainstream which can also give chills down their spine, “A Marketplace for Murder” is the read of their kind.
