>> “To me, this is among the best crime fiction novel written by an Indian.”
>> “A nice combination of a mystery and a thriller that is written in an erudite manner. Tight plot, succinct narration and credible motivations.”
>> “A tight plot and pacy action took me hurtling towards a tense climax, making light of my 7-hour train journey.”
>> “An absorbing read that doesn’t resort to sleaze and sensationalism to retain the reader’s interest.”
>> “What I found quite distinct in the book is the use of the English language – clear, simple, no profanity.”
>> “Excellent plot and story telling. Crisp and clear writing. A solid plot that comes out very well in the final denouncement.”
>> “It kept me up till the wee hours of the night.”
>> “Really enjoyed trying to solve the mystery … got swept along by the pace of the thriller.
