காயத்ரி [Gayathri]
Chilling take on "Message-in-a-bottle". Few books comes with a disclaimer to keep the book out reach of children.The author stumbles upon the diary of Gayatri, a new bride, at Moore Market. In fact the diary starts with the day of her first night. She describes in first person the happenings in the house along with her impressions of her widowed sister-in-law living with them. In what is brilliantly written, the suspense keeps building up and you feel for her safety without understanding what is actually happening. And then enter lawyer Ganesh and Vasanth who accompany the author to rescue her. Also, Sujata's technique of inserting a helpless author into the thick of things was intelligent. The first part reminded me a lot of Rebecca though the context is different. Evidently the movie is different from the book and not in a good way. A fast paced thriller.
