The plot could be told in a few words, not even a paragraph. The rest of the book are just details, trivia details. Quite disappointing. ( )

As an Afghanistan veteran I was super interested in this book, and was thrilled to know I was selected as a reviewer on LibraryThing. There are two parts this book, and you can feel the change. The parts that take place in America, and the part that takes place in India, which shares exactly 0.0 miles of border with Afghanistan. The story of the murders in America are interesting, and then the story relocated to India and the details just get way too complicated. Why wouldn’t the local India police take jurisdiction? Or the CIA? And how did this killer get halfway across the world without detection? The world of 2022 is represented in this book, but none of the 2st century cultural awareness. This just isn’t a well written book. It could have been shorter. Or when the killer flees, bring in another character. It’s all very one note. ( )
