Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup

Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup

Vicky Rai, the son of a high-profile Minister, has been shot dead by one of the guests at his own party. They are a glitzy bunch, but among them the police find six strange, displaced characters with a gun in their possession. each of them steaming with a secret motive. India's wiliest investigative journalist, Arun Advani, makes it his mission to nail the murderer. In doing so, the amazing, tender and touching, techni-colour lives of six eccentric personalities unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind...?

I do not normally recommend crime novels more than 500 pages long, but I am making an exception with Vikas Swarup It's unusual, witty, quirkly, cleverly plotted, intelligent, and along the way it's an informative satire on Indian politics and values..a rollicking good read -- Marcel Berlins * Times *
Gleeful, sneaky fun -- Janet Maslin * New York Times *
Neat, clever and loads and loads of fun * Daily Sport *
A page-turner of a mystery * Waterstones' Quarterly *
Swarup has a redeeming eye for the disparites that define Indian society * Guardian *
