"There's a caste system--even in murder" From the author of the international bestseller "Slumdog Millionaire" comes a richly-textured tale of murder, corruption, and opportunity. Seven years ago, Vivek "Vicky" Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered bartender Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi, simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai has been killed at the party he was throwing to celebrate his acquittal. The police recover six guests with guns in their possession: a corrupt bureaucrat who claims to have become Mahatma Gandhi overnight; an American tourist infatuated with an Indian actress; a stone-age tribesman on a quest to recover a sacred stone; a Bollywood sex-symbol with a guilty secret; a mobile-phone thief who dreams big; and an ambitious politician prepared to stoop low. Swarup unravels the lives and motives of the six suspects, offering both a riveting page-turner and an insightful peek into the heart of contemporary India. Audaciously and astutely plotted, with a panoramic imaginative sweep, "Six Suspects" is the work of a master storyteller.

評分讀到艾可提死去的,我覺得太傷心瞭。他和昌比活在社會的最底層,但卻擁有瞭世界上最真摯的愛情,而現實社會卻總讓最底層的人濛受不白之冤,成為有錢人的替死鬼……
評分《六個嫌疑人》講述的是印度六個可能永遠沒有交集的不同階層在捲入同一張社會利益關係網之後的奇遇經曆。作者以包括引述、電話通話、日記等不同的敘述手法,直接刻畫瞭當今印度社會赤裸裸的權錢關係和淪喪的道德觀念。雖然艾可提(嫌疑人之一)的死讓人有一種“善良引發...
評分其實這個真的不是懸疑小說,而是。。。。。紀實小說!真相,就是這麼殘酷。 小說的情節環環緊扣,幾個主人公的人生交錯發展,不同背景反應印度社會不同的黑暗麵,有時候看得我都牙齒咬緊瞭,恨不得和壞人直接PK。這樣的小說,如果是中國作傢寫的,估計是齣版不瞭的...
評分前年看瞭由該作者改編而成的貧民區的百萬富翁,看完心裏久久不能平靜,主人翁所答的問題,其實就是他長大以來經曆過的事情,配閤印度社會種種黑暗,落後,腐敗鏡頭的視覺衝擊,頓時讓人覺得幸福指數飆升。 然後看到該作者的小說六個嫌疑人,很期待不知道是不是也是一本有驚喜...
