Bimal
Kar’s detective other than Kikira, used to bore me with maybe his only
appearance in the novel Harano Diaryr
Khonje but for the fact that I was somewhat optimistically biased about
Bimal Kar in recent days that I again took up the ebook to refresh my memory about
the story which I’d once read in Anandamela. To say that it felt excellent
would be not true but the adventure or the slow evolution of the plot seemed
now to be so akin to traditional detective novels which I’m sure I was not
matured to appreciate at my younger days. But the slowness of the pace seemed
to get the better of the story and the climactic revelations that ought to be
more splendid seemed not so astounding. It is more of a standard adventure
story than detective but for the last two pages, where suspense was created
very rapidly and there too detection never seemed a prime motive and so the
readers can enjoy Kar’s easy paced storytelling but for the fans of stories
involving true investigators this may not be so much of an enthusiastic choice.
