Killing Ashish Karve Synopsis:
Senior Inspector Saralkar is back at his desk after spending a rather annoying week at a Secrets of Living course, especially for police officers and he is itching for some action now. Luckily, an exciting new case turns up right away!
The body of Ashish Karve, a local businessman has been found in the back seat of his car. To PSI Motkar, Saralkar’s diminutive assistant, it seems to be a straightforward case of suicide. But Saralkar’s sharp mind is agog with the dark possibility of murder. As the case unfolds Saralkar finds enough motives for people, be it Ashishs business partner, his wife, his brother, his friend, his brother-in-law or even strangers to want to do away with him! Is the senior inspector becoming too fanciful in his imagination or is he on the right track in assuming that Ashish was killed?
Delve into this deliciously thrilling whodunit and walk along with Senior Inspector Saralkar and PSI Motkar as they set out to sift the truth from lies and half truths.

This was a interesting and intriguing, Indian, Crime Fiction, murder mystery. Frankly, I did not see the climax reveal in the end and that itself made it a memorable read. Moreover, I found the reasons mentioned int he climax more interesting rather than the person who had done it. Salil Desai has a a perfect style of writing these kind of books for the genre. He puts the right clues in the right places for the readers to keep guessing as to what is happening. Overall, this was a fun murder mystery.
