There's a caste system even in murder.Seven years ago, Vivek 'Vicky' Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai is dead, killed at his farmhouse at a party he had thrown to celebrate his acquittal. The police search each and every guest. Six of them are discovered with guns in their possession. In this elaborate murder mystery we join Arun Advani, India's best-known investigative journalist, as the lives of these six suspects unravel before our eyes: a corrupt bureaucrat; an American tourist; a stone-age tribesman; a Bollywood sex symbol; a mobile phone thief; and an ambitious politician. Each is equally likely to have pulled the trigger. Inspired by actual events, Vikas Swarup's eagerly awaited second novel is both a riveting page turner and an insightful peek into the heart and soul of contemporary India.

作者是印度外交官,但在小说中却完全没有官方的政治意识形态,而是遵从文学表达的特性,把社会的弊病,人的弊病,展露无疑。。。。。中国为什么没有这样的官员?不要空话,套话
评分 评分读到艾可提死去的,我觉得太伤心了。他和昌比活在社会的最底层,但却拥有了世界上最真挚的爱情,而现实社会却总让最底层的人蒙受不白之冤,成为有钱人的替死鬼……
评分前年看了由该作者改编而成的贫民区的百万富翁,看完心里久久不能平静,主人翁所答的问题,其实就是他长大以来经历过的事情,配合印度社会种种黑暗,落后,腐败镜头的视觉冲击,顿时让人觉得幸福指数飙升。 然后看到该作者的小说六个嫌疑人,很期待不知道是不是也是一本有惊喜...
评分“谋杀,一如所有的艺术品,引发诠释,排斥解释。” 给我的震撼太多,不是来自情节的发展,更多的是现今印度人扭曲的价值观。如果你想了解一个国家,就一定要去了解当地人的种种实际,否则就会像一些外国人一样,以为中国人还用毛笔写字,穿着大掛衣,男人梳着长辫种种。
