It takes a village to kill a child...The village of Teetarpur outside Delhi, is famous for nothing until one of its children is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree. In the largely Hindu village, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslin man, Mansoor. It's up to the local policeman Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh to get to the truth. With only one officer under him, and only a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father an an angry village - or will Teetarpur demand vengeance instead? This shockingly powerful literary thriller is set in a brilliantly realised modern India simmering with tension and riven by growing religious intolerance.

I enjoyed this atmospheric mystery set in India which occasionally moved a little slowly but which always gave you reasons to turn the page. A young girl is murdered in quiet, predominantly Hindu village. An itinerant Muslim man falls under suspicion & tensions rise as the villagers look to exact revenge. Racing to find the truth before it‘s too late, Ombir Singh delves into the lives & secrets of villagers. Well-written, entertaining read.

Ruthiella Sounds great! Stacking. 4d

A brilliant exploration of the badlands of Haryana in India, murder, an apathetic policeman, the encroaching city overrunning a village with the push of political power, the invasion of city police. The kind of book that makes you want you to explore the authors's backlist. Which i did - and was delighted.
