Review of Satta Mathews' The Kalyan Final

 

 

 

Satta Matka (Sappiness) by Day OTC author Priyadarshan Sahoo is the eighth book in his Satta trilogy. This novel is based on the theme of 'Satta' - the ten are-ness of everyday life. Satta Matka Final is a fast paced novel, full of action and twists and turns.

Priyadarshan Sahoo is a Mumbai based writer. He has written several books about crime, horror, fantasy and Satta Matka as the theme. He has also written a number of novels, which include; Voodoo Curse, Voodoo House of Valentia, No Name, A Place in the World, The Haunted Man, The Witch's Pupil, and the upcoming The Necromancer. He has also worked as a ghost writer and worked for a magazine on television. Satta Matka Final is the fourth novel in the series of Satta novels.

The story starts in the small town of Kalyan, in Maharashtra state, India. It is an industrialized city, surrounded by concrete and steel, and has the most modern infrastructure of any Indian city. Life is quick and comfortable, and every person has a car, apartment, or home-as long as they pay the monthly installments, which are considered to be quite affordable in this recession hit economy.

One day, three teenagers, Shubhana, Nilesh, and Bikram, get separated from their parents in a rented taxi. While driving to their homes, they are assaulted by three motorcycle racketeers who force them into the van. They are bundled inside the van and taken to a place where they are forced to dig the bodies up using shovels. The driver then drives them around a large industrial area, where a mob of people, including the mafia boss, is waiting for them. At the end of the kalyan final, the three teenagers are lying dead in the backseat, having been brutally murdered.




The entire book is written in a very fast pace and is about thirty to forty pages long. I have read other novels that are much longer, but this one kept me glued to the keyboard, reading each new page. There were some parts where I felt I was missing something, but overall, this was a great book. The detailed description of the industrial areas in Kalyan, and the way the novel flows from one point to another, kept me interested in the storyline, while the murder scene and the aftermath were compelling.

Nilesh, Shubhana, and Bikram, were interesting characters, and their development was fast paced. I also liked the way the author blends the personal lives of the three teenagers with the fast-paced plot, which kept the book from becoming boring. I would recommend Satta Mathews' book to people who like fast paced thriller, and who also appreciate a good mystery book. The Kalyan Final is an excellent book.
