Killing Ashish Karve Salil Desai 9788172345310 Books
Earlier printed as The Body In "The Back Seat" this book is later re-published as "Killing Ashish Karve". It is the first book in Inspector Saralkar Series.The book goes moderately good in terms of pace and characters and was met with the target. This success could have made author Salil Desai to start a series of Police Procedural written in Indian environment by having Inspector Saralkar as the key investigating officer.
If you talk about the plot, as the title says it all, it revolves around the murder of a young businessman named Ashish Karve.
How his murder comes to light is portrayed quite interestingly. The modus operandi of a car-thief, how he actually runs away with a car, how he reacts when he sees a "body in the back seat". Everything is written so convincingly that you will raise bar of expectations quite high.
The car thief than deserts the car in a street. The reactions of the shopkeepers and police about the abandoned car are explored realistically.
The other things we would like to point out are:
1. The maid's behavior towards elder Mr. Ramakant Karve who is bed ridden. This is quite realistic and proves that if you want to take care of your loved ones, try to do it yourself as much as possible, rather than leaving them to mercy of others.
2. The police officers are also human beings like us and they also have to face some problems which we are facing in routine. See how PSI Motkar tries to cop up with the needs to help his son in studies (especially Maths).
3. Also Saralkar's reactions reflects sarcasm effective. Take his views about Motkar and his efficiency and attitude towards police duty for example.
The "Secrets Of Living" program which was attended by Senior Inspector Saralkar will remind you a similar program running actually by a well known person.
So, this mixture of real things and attributes with fiction is what makes a good crime thriller.
Some of the dialogs/descriptions worth to take note from the book:
Even a policeman had the right to enjoy a Sunday lunch and siesta, didn’t he?
----
Much of police work is tasteless, madam, and thankless too, but you have not answered my question.
There are some low points in the book as well. But the highs are more than the lows.
So if you like reading crime thrillers and police procedural, you will enjoy it.
We would be giving 3.5 to 4 stars (out of 5).

Killing Ashish Karve Salil Desai 9788172345310 Books Reviews
This is another instance where I have read the second book first. Don’t get me wrong, the books in this series can be read as standalones, but I rather like to read them in order. That way I get to see how the author introduces the protagonist and then note the growth of the character through the series. I have already read The Murder of Sonia Raikkonen, and have enjoyed it quite a bit.
Senior Inspector Saralkar had been away for a week attending the Secrets of Living course. To a man of action like Inspector Saralkar, it had been a particularly annoying week. But he manages to get a case soon after his return. The body of Ashish Karve has been found in the back seat of his car. While it seems like an open-and-shut case of suicide, Saralkar’s intuition says otherwise. As he takes on the charge of investigating this death of a local businessman as a murder, Saralkar is thrown into a world of deceit and betrayals. Everybody in Ashish Karve’s life seems to have a motive to kill him – his wife or, his brother or, his friend or, his business partner… They all have something to hide. It is up to Saralkar and his assistant to separate the truth from the lies and get to the bottom of the matter.
I liked the way the author introduced Saralkar and Motkar to his readers... each in a personal situation that had nothing to do with the case. It was like looking at a common man without the uniform. Saralkar has so many shades – he can be grumpy, and mostly he is. But he can also be sarcastic and funny. There is also an indulgent side to him which doesn’t come out often. Motkar is a perfect sidekick who is meek, provides comic relief and often stumbles into something important without realizing it. Saralkar and Motkar make quite a pair. There are a bunch of other characters in the book, but none are expendable. They each bring in something to the plot. Each character is uniquely developed and there are only a couple of them who I felt were underplayed in the story.
The plotline is not very complicated. It’s the number of suspects with motives that add to the mystery in the story. I also particularly liked the way the author has portrayed how the Indian Police work. It is not as gritty as some of the international police procedural books or tv shows, but it was a nice change to read about the Indian counterparts. It is not very common in Indian literature, especially not in the recent times. The other thing I liked was the way the author left the clues out in the open like breadcrumbs for the readers to follow and play a classic game of whodunit. The narration style is addictive with ample amount of twists and wit infused in it. The story starts with a crack and continues to build its momentum till the climax.
