an interesting book, not bad at all, although i found some places a little bit too descriptive and long. the most pleasing aspect for a reader is how several different stories come together and form one coherent story, revealing the mysteries hidden behind the main characters. the book describes very well the cast system in India and the reality of the corrupt politics.
a few nice quotes...

a few nice quotes borrowed by the author from others:
"murder, like all art, generates interpretation and resists explanation" Michelle de Kretser from The Hamilton case
"the accused are always the most attractive" Franz Kafka from The Trial
"never judge a man's actions, until you know his motives"
"if you want to live in the city, you have to think ahead three turns, and look behind a lie to see the truth, and then behind the truth to see the lie" Vikram Chandra from Sacred Games
"nothing in the world is harder than speaking the truth" Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky from Crime And Punishment
