Travel Guide
BookTrail it to Ulsoor, Bangalore
The city with all its bustling, chaotic feel comes to life in this novel. This is also the city of murder in this book. Three high-profile women are murdered, their bodies draped in identical red saris. The British Foreign Minister’s ex-wife is targeted and New Scotland Yard gets involved. This is an international murder case and one of two cultures, two sides and many facets.
Most of the places in the book are either vague or seen in a very bad light so this is no guide book in that sense. One of fictional crime scenes though! The sounds, streets and smells of the small streets, cobbled alleys and narrow lanes are brought to life. The way women and men work together and live side by side in society is also nicely evoked. An interesting picture of Bangalore indeed.
