Why read it?

1 author picked The Secret of the Stolen Idols as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Secret of the Stolen Idols is Vivek’s debut novel, and it unravels as quite a surprise package. Lucid language, sharp characterization, and a pacy plot make it a story that lingers in your mind long after you are done reading the book. With his descriptions, Vivek brings to life a Goa that lies beyond the prying eyes of tourists, and one that is just as enchanting as its overt persona.

From Anurag's list on Indian crime fiction.
