Review
The narrator of the novel ‘Agochora’ (অগোচরা) is a common shooter. Incidentally, he enters the crime world through some underworld acquaintances. The few who knew about his secret life, he killed them one by one – Sometimes obeying the orders of others, sometimes hoping for his own freedom. Even after killing one by one, will he finally get his freedom? The author has arranged the story of the book about what happens to him at the end.

Although this book does not have as many twists as Mohammad Nazim Uddin’s other books, I hope the book will not disappoint the readers. One thing that everyone is talking about this book is that, the author has directly used some local slang here. Because of this, many readers are a bit annoyed. However, the reason for using such language in such domestic thriller books is to make the readers more interested and involved in the story.



 Note  Here is a brief discussion of the book. To know the full story, I recommend reading this excellent book in hardcover.
