Well, particularly only three types of books entice me, namely fashion, humour and mysteries! ( Exceptions to these are very few ) So when I actually feel like distressing, I am in search of either of these! On such book is Private India ( James Patterson and Ashwin Sanghi collaboration ) I was pretty excited to read this ( Even though it is just about 450 pages and 116 chapters, it can keep you hooked on to it!)
The story starts typically, with a murder of a Thai Doctor whose body is surrounded by certain objects. Enter, Santosh Wagh, head-Private India ( The Indian Branch of Private Worldwide- headed by Jack Morgan, who is also a part of the book). The Police comes, but allow Private India to takeover the case on the condition that they get the credit if the case is solved!( Shows the stereotypical nature of Police!) This murder is followed by a series of other murders, specifically women victims only ( Gets you thinking) and each of the victim found with a yellow scarf and certain objects ( Gets you thinking even harder!)
Other characters in the book include Nisha ( right hand of Wagh), Mubeen a medical expert,Hari a technocrat,Mumbai's Underworld Don, politicians, celebrities and Pakistan's ISI as well! The main plot is embedded with another plot! (makes for a good mystery!)
Private India is essentially a part of the Private Series by James Patterson(Which I would like to read) and he tries to add Indian touch to the story, intricately giving details of the city of Mumbai (I can so relate to it and it is something I love about this book as I can visualise the story even better!)
Go ahead, read it to find out whether or not Private India could link the murders and solve the case!
