Plot Summary
This was one of those books that stayed in our house for long, and I read it almost every day. One of the most fascinating ones.
However, now that I’m older and wiser (I’m really NOT), this one felt just about alright. I mean, I can recall why I was so amazed by Lozata, but there was very little jasoosi. One murder, Faridi talked to victim’s team, another man commits suicide, snakes in Faridi’s car and then finish. There are no debates, no discussions, no detective work.
But boy was it fun to read.
