My views -

The Stalker by Sandeep Sharma is a suspense thriller with a good cover which initially grabs my attention and blurb is also made in an interesting way to choose it to read instantly.

The story surrounds around the triangular love story of Randhir, Rupali, and Mayank. Randhir, the co-owner of an upcoming company USB and Mayank, the co-owner of Natak company which is the rivalry company of USB. The common thing which connects each company is Rupali who work for both the companies.

The author had tried well enough to not reveal the suspense behind who's the real stalker and keep moving with unknotting the threads one by one but eventually, some of the threads lead a pathway to judge the real stalker, reveals the story and which lessened the interest to keep turning pages.

"Maybe, is always the beginning and the end of anything that can't be explained." This quote from the novel somehow attracts me more and amazes me of the author's narrating skill. A steady narration and lucid language been a great plus to novel along with diluted characterization.

Overall, The Stalker could be a more interesting story if it made a little unjudge able story. Still a great effort by making the readers read till the last page. I would like to suggest the novel for beginners and persons looking for a light read. I don't how much it satisfies other thriller readers because as the thriller I'm not much satisfied and I've read Sandeep Sharma's all novels by which I can clearly say it is an underperforming one.
