"Swipe Right to Kill" by Anirban Bhattacharyya is a gripping and chilling true crime story. The book dives into the shocking 2018 Jaipur Tinder Murder Case, which began when an abandoned suitcase that was found on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway, containing the body of Dushyant Sharma, a young businessman.

The story unfolds quickly, with the Rajasthan Police solving the case within 48 hours. But what they uncovered was horrifying. The book details the twisted actions of Priya Seth, a woman who admitted to conning hundreds (if not thousands) of men, and her two accomplices, Dikshant Kamra and Lakshya Walia. Their greed and ambition led to a crime that stunned the nation.

Anirban Bhattacharyya, who is known for his work on crime shows like Savdhaan India and Crime Patrol, tells this story with a powerful and intense narrative. The writing makes you feel the pain and helplessness of the victim while also exposing the cold ruthlessness of the criminals. The murder scene is described in a way that leaves a lasting impact. Further the author also details out the procedure followed by the police in terms of gathering the evidences to build a water tight case.

This book is truly a page-turner, and I finished it in three sittings. It's a must-read for fans of true crime, and it will keep you hooked from start to finish. Anirban Bhattacharyya has done a brilliant job, and after reading this, you'll likely become a fan of his work too.
