5 | A little surbuban town with a little mystery of its own. | Nothing simple about this novel: set in suburbia of America, a single mom and her daughter leaves New York, to start life all over again: they find themselves not in the sleepy hallow they thought they would find. Instead they are entwined in the middle of a 20+ year old mystery that the town left as gossip.

3 | A snap shot of colonial india and discovery of the camera | You have to bear with the rather long introduction to the book before you get to experience the life and time of British colonization of India and what it could have looked like through the experience of a colonial family and their one India servant boy.

3 | The suspense kept piling on, and when you thought you had the answer.. | ...the suspense stepped up to a huge new level.

4 | Riveting and a real page turner: who done it. | It is getting common for a story to be told in both the past and in the present. This 'who done it' thriller was just that, 12 years apart.
