My first by the author and am regretting reading this in English. Perhaps the original would have been more interesting...

The book started really well and had some nice comic moments as well but the plot was too simple and too pat for words. Having heard a lot about the author, it is possible that my expectations were sky high and ergo the disappointment but I don’t think it is as simple an explanation as that.

Will definitely read more of the author before I make a final assessment. Of course, those will be in Tamil for sure.

A fairly straightforward thriller from the 1960s - I enjoyed the local colour, but found the mystery itself fairly unengaging.
