My Thoughts:
    The plot is really interesting and engaging especially when Malcom decides the find the culprit. The author has beautifully built suspense throughout the book and is definitely a page turner.
    The characters are well developed but there were a few characters who had little play in the story but they too were vividly described. Malcom and his colleague actually take the risk of getting on this hunt to get to the killer and find out the mystery behind all the events.
    Language is simple and lucid and the narration is well done.
    The book cover and the title of the book are apt to the plot.
    Overall, it was a interesting read and I would definitely say that this was a nice blend of suspense, mystery and thriller.
Rating: 4/5

Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
