The author has written it in the style of a memoir, giving minute details of how the whole investigation system and all the departments work together, including the loyalty and corruption in the departments.

All the four cases described are filled with thrills and turns, which make it hard for the reader to put down the book.

There is not a single point in the whole book where you feel bored or have that urge to stop reading the book.

The characters are real and so are the incidents, which is like the final garnishing that every dish needs to become perfect from good.

For me, it was one of the most interesting books -- sensitive matters being dealt with careful hands with clear understanding of how delicate is the matter.

Yet it has that perfect mixture of reality with traces of fiction.

The characters have been molded very nicely with sharp features and a clear picture of their personalities.

In reflection, 'Chasing Smugglers' arouses a sense of respect for the officers working in different departments; the book compels the reader to think about the growing corruption and the need to eradicate it from our systems.
                  
Overall I would rate the book 8.5/10. Readers who like mystery, crime thriller and detective stories, will definitely like this book.
