Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

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, technicolor lives of six eccentric characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind…?

Editorial Reviews

“Lyndam Gregory sounds like he’s having a grand time performing the tapestry of characters in this contemporary Indian morality tale…Well worth a listen.” —AudioFile
“Enriched by the sights and smells of contemporary India, this mystery shows Swarup to be a skillful prose stylist and deft handler of plot, who’s likely to win more readers.” —Library Journal
“If Agatha Christie wrote a mystery about modern India, it might be something like this…Charming, atmospheric, and driven equally by character and plot, Six Suspects is bound to be popular with traditional mystery fans and readers of international crime fiction, as well as the legion of Slumdog devotees. Highly recommended.” —Booklist (starred review)
“[A] high-concept tale that uses a murder investigation to launch a riotous tour of contemporary India…a teeming, beguiling Indian panorama wrapped in a clever whodunit.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Gleeful, sneaky fun…a refreshing oddity.” —New York Times
