THERE'S A CASTE SYSTEM –— EVEN IN MURDER
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 characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind....
A dazzling mystery, a rivetting whodunnit, a kaleidoscopic portrait of modern India.

评分其实这个真的不是悬疑小说,而是。。。。。纪实小说!真相,就是这么残酷。 小说的情节环环紧扣,几个主人公的人生交错发展,不同背景反应印度社会不同的黑暗面,有时候看得我都牙齿咬紧了,恨不得和坏人直接PK。这样的小说,如果是中国作家写的,估计是出版不了的...
评分六个嫌疑人中的每个角色都代表了不同的社会阶级。这些角色有如一面镜子,让我们映照比对。透过艾可提这个角色,我们可以明白以物质取胜的消费文化有多么浅薄。
评分我想,新的读者们可能会纳闷这本书上为什么会有“推理”这个标签。是的,本书里面没有什么推理内容可言,甚至连犯案跟还原过程都漏洞百出。最明显的就是子弹,第一颗打向木制吧台的子弹没有穿过维奇·拉伊的身体,理所当然的,子弹上也不会有任何DNA痕迹,所以警方根本就不会怀...
