8 Dorja 9 Kuthori

8 Dorja 9 Kuthori is one of Samaresh Majumdar’s tighter thriller novels, the title meaning eight doors and nine rooms. The premise points to the kind of locked room mystery the book builds its tension from, and Samaresh Majumdar plots it carefully.

For readers who already know him from Kalbela or Satkahon, the thrillers show a different and equally skilled side of the writer.
