I had heard a lot about the author so I wanted to read this book.Sorry to say I am greatly disappointed.Like too many cooks spoil the broth,similarly too many genres spoil a book.Mythology,history,murder,mystery,adventure,Mahabharat what not?
A lot of repetition and wild goose chase.Murders that had no valid reason(when stealing the seals was actually the motive).
Why would a professor travel the length and breadth of India when his life is at threat?Why would a police officer accompany him alone?Why narrate the Mahabharat in every chapter?It hardly had anything to do with the plot other than the piercing scalpel on the foot.
