The 2nd literary work by Vikas Swarup of
Q&A aka
Slumdog Millionaire fame proves to be yet another engaging plot.
The murder of a famous but notorious industrialist Vicky Rai has six suspects, all eccentric and from different backgrounds, rounded up as they were all found to be in possession of a gun which was the murder weapon. Then comes the plot twists and motives - how the 6 ended up as suspects, whodunnit, and why.
Once again, Vikas Swarup managed to capture the essence of the slums of India, the political fights and controversies that is carefully hidden out of the public eyes, and, how the rich and powerful always get away with their crimes. It seems as if Swarup is trying to tell the world what the country is all about.
If you liked
Slumdog Millionaire, you will like this one too.
And she waves goodbye...
