Satyarth Nayak

The plot of this book follows what seems to have become a formula these days. One or more dead bodies, some cryptic verses or clues, the protagonist following the clues through a series of locations in India, some twist at the end of the tale, you get the drift. Without even a trace of any disrespect to the writers, they all seem, to me, the same... The differentiating factor in all these books is the way the story is told, and, on this count, this one is better than a couple of others I've read. The narration is pretty good, but, the dialogues are not so. The conversations the lead pair have during the quest of their lives seem trivial. The characters are not built-up well. The bits from the past lack coherence, though written nicely.
Reading this book, I felt almost the same way I did after my previous few reads, the author shows a lot of promise... Waiting for more, better works from him!… (altro)
