Treacherous Estate … where do I begin book lovers? Treacherous Estate is undoubtedly a novel that should not be missed by anybody because the story that unfolds throughout it is genius, flawlessly written and wildly entertaining. When I read the premise of Treacherous Estate, I knew instantly that it was a book I had to read as well as a book I would love, and this is thanks to the themes alluded to throughout the premise with a strong one being a mystery. Mysteries, in general, are my go-to read but I love even more when they feature more themes than just a mystery and so when I started to read Treacherous Estate and learned that the book has this, I was thrilled, and it made me turn the pages even faster! I should also mention for those of you that do not know, that this is the second book I have read and reviewed by Behcet Kaya. The first book I read was called Murder on the Naval Base, and this book truly captivated me from start to finish and ensured that I would always now be excited about reading Kaya’s work.
Treacherous Estate is a fast-paced thriller that is haunting as well as thrilling, and although the novel terrified me at points, it was still bewitching, and I still don’t know Behcet Kaya the author of Treacherous Estate managed to do this! I think it is a combination of his flawless literature and his fast-paced narrative that had twists and turns galore. It could be these two attributes and so much more but what I do know for sure is that Kaya managed to keep me hooked and racing to the end thanks to his literature that was spiked with adrenaline from start to finish.
Treacherous Estate is a compelling novel that will introduce readers to the protagonist of the story, Jacques (Jack) Ludefance whose evening takes a strange and scary turn when a young woman, sits down next to him, asks for help and then suddenly dies.
The young woman’s death is deemed not suspicious, and he is told that she died of natural causes; however, Jack knows that something is wrong and so he decides to investigate her death. When Jack starts to investigate her death, he begins to make shocking discoveries about her mysterious death and what follows is a story full of surprising twists and many engrossing moments.
The story of Treacherous Estate is an intriguing one and one that left me shocked at many points. I am not talking about a small amount of shock to book lovers but rather a massive shock because Treacherous Estate provides a host of them and they are big ones! The twists and turns and the numerous shocking moments throughout the story thrilled me from start to finish and kept me entertained and turning the pages with haste. It is tough for an author to keep their readers engaged, especially when writing a thriller/mystery, so the fact that Kaya was able to do this for me and so effortlessly shows us that he is an incredible author whose work should not be missed.

Instead, the story is unique and has the perfect combination of crime, suspense, and mystery which are all perfectly weaved together by the exceptional author, Behcet Kaya.
Behcet Kaya is an author who has written a fantastic story and come up with a brilliant plot. Kaya from the very start sets the tone of the novel; he lets his readers know that this is going to be a dark and atmospheric book thanks to his literature and wow was it! Kaya is an exceptional writer because he grabs his readers attention from the start very quickly and keeps them engrossed until the end.
