Murder before carnival is set the time of Durga Puja in kolkata, where a murder takes place in the premises of durga maa idol. The rest of the story's premise follows how the protagonist (Ahana, consultant psychologist) will find the culprit, will she or not?


Pros:-
- A short read. Straight to the point, no unnecessary drags.
- Character background insights within the short time worths appreciation.
- Good for beginners who are yet to read murder mysteries.


Cons:-
-I personally felt the sudden changes in narrative perspectives could get tiring to the readers.

- the murder mystery somehow lacks to pull of the interest that will keep the readers hooked to it until the very end.

Overall this book makes a good one time read.
