About this listen

When ace software engineer Saahil is found battling for his life on a rainy morning, it looks like a case of attempted suicide. However, Saahil's family strongly denies that possibility and calls in ex-super cop-turned-detective Mili Ray to investigate. While doctors are uncertain about Saahil's survival, the police discover the blood-soaked body of Saahil's colleague Farzad. Why are IT engineers being targeted? Is there a link between these ghastly attacks and Saahil's cutting-edge invention - the Pa software? Ray and her team - advocate Gatha and ex-army officer Anubhav - dive into this case, which is turning murkier by the hour. Unaware that a conniving assassin is stalking her, Ray races towards a dangerous trap while murderous attacks continue to haunt the IT world. Who is behind these assaults - a jealous co-worker, an IT kingpin, an estranged friend, or someone else? With the killer on the loose, Ray's credibility is at stake....

Set in Mumbai, The Sinister Silence is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that traces detective Mili Ray's journey through a mysterious case that poses new threats every time she inches closer to her goal.

the story is interesting and keeps one hooked till the end.
the narration however is not upto the mark. it is monotonous, unfeeling and boring. taking the life out of an otherwise good one time read.

Interesting whodunit

Interesting plot, but the narration is poor. No proper dialogues, no proper sequence of scenes. Very difficult to listen to when there is no continuity between scenes

Boring

what a story. i must say that Indian directors must read or atleast listen to this story. worth making a movie out of this novel. you cannot even imagine the ending.

nothing but the best

it was bad. detective and her team would talk about some great breakthrough but they would not share with us. again and again it makes us feel unwanted. waste of time.

murder mystery attempt

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
the narration is simply unbearable. the voice modulation is unnatural. accent is weird (books can be narrated very well in Indian accent too) . So many pronunciations are wrong... including the surname Trehan, potpourri etc . It feels like either you are listening to a kindergarten teacher telling a story to toddlers or a news broadcast on Doordarshan. the story is also very weak. no proper plot... characters feel like strangers.No wonder this is available as a free novel over Audible

utterly disappointing story and horribly narrated.
