I liked this book because it really immersed me in the culture of India that you don't normally see or read about. Bollywood this isn't.

.... some of the MMC's reasoning felt flawed. I don't know if it was intentional, to fit with the "back country / crotch scratching / biggest ambition is to wear a uniform" vibe or it was a writing accident
but I just don't think the justification for murder was enough.... Then again, I've never had that much money dangled within arms reach.

A Great Gatsby story that feels like the author watched a lot of Wes Anderson and read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut. Loved this look at the underbelly of India.
