shubhra19's review against another edition
3.0
2.5 stars actually.
This book could easily be wrapped up in about 100-120 pages, if we think about max extension of script. The mystery, I found was not very gripping as there was a lot of unneeded fun that these guys were having, instead of solving the mystery quickly.
A very unusual kind of school where foreigners are taught English language is the base of this novel. Murders keep happening and Amiss, the protagonist, who took a break from his civil services job and under some circumstances turns into a spy for finding out about these murders.
Stuff keeps happening but it gets really weird. I will be honest, I skipped a lot of pages in between just to finish this book asap. I was struggling. Amiss and Rachel were the best part of this book, but the story otherwise doesn't holds any strength in itself.
