I have not read a lot of mystery novels by Indian authors, but decided to give this one a try after reading a few reviews. And boy it did not disappoint!
It was a quick and breezy read and I did not for once feel like putting this book down.

What I liked about the book:
Good plot, hooked me from the get-go and kept me guessing till the very end.
The story did not have unnecessary details, it was succinct and compact.
After a very long time, I've read a book that describes the surrounding in great detail which lent a breezy feel to the novel.


What I did not like:
The reverence with which Prakash treats Maity, I felt like the author went a little overboard with trying to establish Maity's character as a great detective.

Last thoughts: I would definitely pick more of Bhaskar Chattopadhyay's book in the future.
