Story
Line-:
Private India is India’s biggest and best detective agency, a
branch of Private Worldwide, run by Jack Morgan. Santosh Wagh heads Private India. Murders in
the Mumbai city clearly show the work of a serial killer; the killer has chosen
its victim randomly, without any connections and with strange props placed in
the death scene.
Santosh Wagh is running out of time. He has to stop the killer
before the killer finds its next victim. Not only that private India seems to
be in great danger along with thousands of innocents.
Ashwin Sanghi and
James Patterson have teamed up for the first time to bring ‘private’ series to
India. It’s the 8th book of the popular series.
The plotline of
this novel was convincing but the story progressed in a twist and turn manner.
Some mysteries baffled me as some characters have multiple personalities. The
mysteries start to unfold in the second half of the book.
Thumbs up-:
The book is
written by two people, who are polished in their own field, so the book is well
conjured up. The writing is very detailed and every minute detail is specified
with perfection. The reader automatically starts to picturing things while reading.

Some of the
lines which I really liked-:
"Unlike a piece of wood
which can turn out too short when you cut it, if a piece of metal is botched,
we simply wait, reheat, and give it another go. There are always second
chances-both in metal and in men."
"Life
has no meaning without the presence of death. Life is simply the absence of
death. The fools of this world labour to prevent death, unmindful of the fact
that it is death that will set them free."
Thumbs down-:
It’s
very difficult for me to detect the thumbs down portion but I think there is
only one thing that strokes my mind; the novel is dividing in to two parts so as
the story. The first and last few chapters can give you goose bumps but in the
middle a reader may lost as so many characters will come across a reader and so
many things will occur at a time.
Characters-:
I
think there are so many characters with their background stories. But Except
Santose Wagh all are easily forgettable. The cameo appearance of Jack Morgan,
who is the head of Private and recruited all of them for the Indian branch of
private, was also unnecessary.

A fast read and
a page turner, Private India might be ready for its sequels and I hope Ashwin
and James sure can come up with many more cases, some related to the
mythological suspense of India, which Private India can handle with Santosh. I also think that the novel can also be add to the
bollywood diaries.
So I will give this Novel 4 out of 5 stars for its writers,
who have made it marvelous for the readers.
