Rakhi Haridas’s latest book, Misled Towards Truth, brings together human psychology and a strong murder mystery. The story begins with a double murder, but soon moves into deeper ground, where thoughts, fear, and hidden intent shape how events are seen.
Haridas works as a leadership and transformation coach, along with her work as an author, dancer, artist, and poet. Her close work with people in real life helps her bring depth to the story. The book reflects how people think, act, and respond when pressure rises.
A Murder That Opens More Doubt
The story follows ACP Nikhil Mathew and his team as they look into the murder of a well-known businessman and his wife. What first seems like a clear case soon becomes complex as new facts come forward and old views start to fall apart.
Each step in the case brings fresh doubt. People linked to the victims act in ways that are hard to read, and the search for truth keeps shifting.
The focus stays on both the crime and the people involved. The case is shaped by human behaviour as much as by facts and clues.
How People See the Same Thing Differently

At the core of Misled Towards Truth is how people see and judge situations. The book shows how fear, past events, and emotion can change how someone thinks.
The characters are shaped by their life paths. No one is shown in simple terms. Each person has reasons for their actions, and those reasons come out as the story moves forward.
This focus on human behaviour adds depth to the mystery. Thoughts and feelings play a key role in how the story moves.
How Each Part Came Together
Writing Misled Towards Truth took close to two years. During this time, Haridas worked on several drafts to shape a clear and steady story.
Each character was built with care so their actions feel real. The plot was refined many times so that every twist has a clear reason.
This process helped build a story where every detail has a role in the final outcome.
A Crime Story with Meaning
Beyond the murder case, the book asks readers to think about how fast people form views. It looks at trust, judgment, and the gap between what seems true and what is true.
The story does more than focus on shock value. It draws attention to motive and behaviour, and it keeps readers thinking about human nature.
Misled Towards Truth is a crime story shaped by human psychology and suspense. It is written for readers who like mystery with depth and meaning.
The book is available on Amazon for those who want to read a story built on human behaviour and shifting truth.
