5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, Easy Page Turner Read

The Back Cover of the Book suggests that the plot traverses 3 Continents, and it does so on a physical plane, upon reading the story we also find that we end up traversing the plane where Corporate Greed, Technology & Agriculture interject. Discussions on the roles of this omnipresent triumvirate are necessary to understand how they shape the world we live in and how we all should be aware of the linkages, hence the requirement of stories such as these which bring forth such discussions without numbing the mind, without being pedantic.
In fact, it is just the opposite, it is an easy read with seamless flow and despite not being a “whodunit”, builds to a crescendo.
You are left with the feeling of gorging on sweets which keep popping in your mouth – the more you chomp the more it pops while simultaneously enjoying a curated meal with a better bite delivery every subsequent bite. The only difference being the plot lines make pop-ups go off in your head and you satiate on an excellent work of a debutant.
Jeffrey Archer fans might find sparse tinges of Jeffrey Archer way of story telling, as I believe that Sairam was lucky to meet the Lord in-person.
To those who know him closely, often call Sairam as the Prof, and Prof has indeed taken a riveting class, post which one can only Stand & Applaud

It’s not very often that one comes across a work of art which surprises, intrigues & make one think about the creator’s vision, ingenuity , eye for detail & power to leave the audience spellbound with magic of their work. ✨✨✨
This book falls in the above category of work which left me spellbound with the writers eye for detail and ability to keep the reader interested with a full proof plot. The writing is simple yet ingenious.
Trisha’s (protagonist) journey from being a consultant with a top notch consulting firm in London to a programme manager in CSR vertical of an Indian conglomerate is full of twists and turns which are tightly woven to ensure that the reader is a part of Trisha’s journey.😊
Sairam thanks a lot for such a good read & kudos for penning a commendable must read book 📕.
A rare achievement by a debutant author.
I would recommend all the ‘BIBLIOPHILES’ to read “ TWO FACED THREE KNIVES”…
Sairam eagerly waiting for the next Book….
5.0 out of 5 stars A sharp and racy thriller
Reviewed in India on 14 April 2022
I would call this book an unputdownable, racy thriller worth making a movie plot. Sairam’s Trisha is much like Sidney Sheldon’s Tracy Whitney, made of grit and determination and driven by vengeance. At the same time, she is also your every day hero working in a corporate role with her heart at the right place and set priorities. The author efficiently takes the reader to Ghana, London, Mumbai and villages of Jharkhand on a virtual tour, the scenes created in the novel are detailed and visual. The story spun around the other side of the corporate world, that of greed and unholy nexuses is much relevant for the readers in the age of corporate responsibility and sustainability.

I am still dipping my toes into the literally fiction pool, finding what works for me and what doesn’t. Books like Two Faced Three Knives by Sairam are definitely my cup of tea. This is one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the protagonist, Trisha, and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every riveting, nail-biting moment of it. The vivid and true to life description of locations and characters let’s you experience the story vicariously through the eyes of Trisha. One of the best books I have read in my entire life!!

I found myself at home as much as I would with a Grisham or Crichton novel. Gripping and well researched thriller that gains momentum from the prologue and never lets go. Narrated to introduce the reader to the grey world of Agri Commodities, Consulting, Corporate Social Responsibility and Rural Development. The world Trisha occupies and the one in which we read the headlines don’t seem very different. In times where corporate and individual greed seems to have no bounds, the book puts the reader into the thick of it. A great debut for the author and a fast paced corporate fiction for the reader! Can easily be a Netflix series!
