Blurb : The death by gunshot of a powerful and controversial District Magistrate brings in the idealistic and puritanical DSP Arjun Iyer to the District Magistrate's residence, where his large joint family lives. It seems like a suicide at first glance, but is really one?
And if it isn't, then...
Along with his assistant, the deeply loyal but irascible, devil-may-care Inspector Munuswamy, DSP Arjun leaves no stone unturned in investigating the case where surprise upon labyrinthine surprise awaits them until they arrive at the final conclusion.
Review :
It was a well written, easy read with just the right amount of plot versus suspense and creepiness. I also enjoyed the setting of the book. The story revolve around DSP Arjun, his assistant inspector Munuswamy and slain District Magistrate Govind Pratap. Its highly readable, the twists and turn aren't overly predictable and I felt a real connection to the main character DSP Arjun. There were a few tiny places where i got a bit confused about the timeline and I would have loved to have seen a bit more clarity there. I will definitely be reading the more from the author. The death of a District Magistrate is sure to be one of my favourite read of 2022 and I cannot recommend it highly enough to all the lovers of the genre.
