Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup

4.0

This book was a very intriguing book. It is about a murder. A guy called Vicky Rai was acquitted of murdering a girl (who refused to serve him a drink), and he throws an acquittal party... where he is murdered. Six people (six suspects) are found in the house in possession of guns. This book went back in time and showed the six suspects and their journey to ending up at Vicky's party. There is a corrupt politician, a mobile phone thief, a movie star, a tribal, an American, and a corrupt bureaucrat who seems to be possessed by Gandhi... There were a few different sections in this book, the murder, the suspects, the motives, the evidence, the solution and the confession.

This book was very interesting and it was a challenge to guess which of the six suspects were the murderer as many of them had very good motives for wanting Vicky dead, and others were stupid so they could have killed him by accident. I thoroughly enjoyed this book once I got into it and the way it is written. Would recommend this book to people who enjoyed the author's previous book, 'Q & A' (a.k.a. Slumdog Millionaire).
