具體描述
"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.

評分家住图书馆边的好处，就是可以随时读这种无收藏价值的畅销书然后不为家里无处入置的纸质出版物。家里有个爱去图书馆的人的好处就是总可以在一堆的历史研究资料里找到一两本这种本不会去找来看的消遣类厕上读物。说了半天就是觉得对这种小说，没什么太多针对书本身要说的东西，...

評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……
評分看过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。
