具体描述
"There's a caste system--even in murder" From the author of the international bestseller "Slumdog Millionaire" comes a richly-textured tale of murder, corruption, and opportunity. Seven years ago, Vivek "Vicky" Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered bartender Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi, simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai has been killed at the party he was throwing to celebrate his acquittal. The police recover six guests with guns in their possession: a corrupt bureaucrat who claims to have become Mahatma Gandhi overnight; an American tourist infatuated with an Indian actress; a stone-age tribesman on a quest to recover a sacred stone; a Bollywood sex-symbol with a guilty secret; a mobile-phone thief who dreams big; and an ambitious politician prepared to stoop low. Swarup unravels the lives and motives of the six suspects, offering both a riveting page-turner and an insightful peek into the heart of contemporary India. Audaciously and astutely plotted, with a panoramic imaginative sweep, "Six Suspects" is the work of a master storyteller.

读后感
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。
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2008年，一部英国拍摄，以印度为背景的电影《贫民窟的百万富翁》一炮而红，横扫了包括奥斯卡、金球奖、全美电影评论学会奖、英国独立电影颁奖礼等欧美各大重要电影奖。电影讲述的是一位在印度贫民窟长大的孩子，为了让失散多年的女友在电视上见到自己，参加了《谁想成为百...
评分看过Q&A的人都知道斯的说故事能力，各种角度不同手法。在读者面前描绘出如诗的故事。不愿看都不行。 故事的结局有点惊人，可它却给读者留下了太多的想象。一个讲述印度政界的故事，一个让诸多国家思考的故事。比福尔摩斯还福尔摩斯。
