One Arranged Murder Paperback – September 28, 2020

The author, Chetan Bhagat, is simultaneously perceptive and humorous. I enjoy his writing style, and learning a bit about India culture and society.With his skills as a writer, he takes the reader on an amazing journey because of his gift as a storyteller.

It’s a great narrative. Being a Bhagat fan , I tend to compare with his previous books. This one is a great plot and very simple to read. But I miss his metaphors and analogies he gave in other novels especially about a guy’s feelings. I learnt this about indian men from his books - The species we otherwise assume aren’t very expressive about feelings have a lot of them!!! That one part was missing. But a SURE READ. Also missed his highlights of social issues without judgment. But sometimes you can do without them. Great work, Chetan.

Just finished reading this book and I loved it. Ok, I am biased towards Chetan’s writing. I love the simplicity of his language and the easy going humor and this book was no different. It’s another movie in the making for sure. 80% into the book, you will think what’s going on, why isnt this book over? What else is left in this story? and suddenly out of nowhere the story takes a drastic twist! This book still doesn’t match the heights of his first book Five Point Someone but it’s a good book ....

Too lengthy. Went off topic at times.Good for long reads I would have given 4 stars but for author going off

Prior to this book, I read A girl who lived by Christopher Grayson. Which had good rating on Amazon but that book was not as interesting as this one. Both the books are on murder mystery. I liked that book but didn't find each page interesting like this book. Very nice story. Another bollywood movie is due.

Tongue in cheek , detective story! Funny and intriguing at same time! Very entertaining set in modern day India! Namaste!

I enjoyed reading this book. It is captivating and kept me focused till the end! I will recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers.

Wonderful flow from start to end..good sequel after you read “girl in room no 105”. As always this is another masterpiece from my beloved author Chetan bhai...excellent thriller. Those who love suspense and thriller must read this book.

Loved this book Chetan Bhagat did wonderfully again!

The book quality is good and paper is white and readable. This was the first book I bought and read so it was quite enjoyable. I didn't expect I would be able to finish this quickly. Story was interesting, I didn't get bored a single moment. It's a mix of humour (body shaming) and detective genre. Chetan Bhagat could have minimised the body shaming though.. it's literally in half of the chapters. Otherwise plot is good.

I had got t he book on my tablet and was sort shall I read it or not, well i did and I was so glad I did the book grabbed in the first few sentences and, honestly I found it hard to put down, It's given me a whole new country that I have never really thought about, Its taught me such a lot about Indian culture but not just the country or culture but about the people . I have been taken by the hand and mind of an all new world now I want to know more, This book should be read because its such a fantastic story and the ending is , well zim not going to say, just read it for yourself

Reading Bhagat's first crime novel about the "Girl in room 105", I wasn't quite sure whether the author's turn to another genre would convince me. It certainly did. "An arranged murder" continued this path and convinced me as well.I liked the two protagonists Keshav and Saurabh and their diverging views and attitudes towards life and their constant clashes and reconciliation attempts. The final turn showing us the real murderer was completely unexpected although one had already gone through the protagonists' list of suspects.If I were to make a wish, I would like Bhagat to write another sequel with a more satisfactory ending for Keshav and Saurabh. Somehow, these two pals deserve it.

The story started with really interesting twist and turns. Loved the end, but was dragged a bit with extra details about the surroundings, dressing and furniture and all.Not the best of Chetan Bhagat.Loved the Girl from Room 105 better than this one.Hope to read a better story and writing from you again soon.
