Page-turner all the way!

I think modern Indian women and girls have found a new sexy, stylish, yet strong role model in Niki Marwah!
I quite liked how the author has included a boisterous Punjabi family, a forever eligible bachelor, and other quirks very specific to the great Indian family!
Just one complaint - After the entire build-up, the end comes way too quickly. It's almost like the author was ...

Great mystery
Niki sets out to solve a murder mystery of a high-profile businessman in a place called Sonargham (made-up). The mystery is kept intact and is maintained throughout the book.The reader is kept guessing about the murderer till the end. Characters are well-tailored and fit to the tee.
Definitely worth a read.
