Review of "How to kill a billionaire"

Book: How To Kill A Billionaire

By: Rajesh Talwar



A billionaire's son goes missing. A young girl commits suicide after a rape. This is a twisted, ironic tale of a brother's love for his sister and his faith in vengeance as the only alternative to a deeply flawed justice system. The brother, a trial court lawyer practising in the lower courts of Delhi, uses the weaknesses of the legal system to confront and confound one of the world's richest men. The story that unfolds takes the reader through the labyrinthine corridors of the Indian legal system to a shattering climax. 

The book begins with the court room drama where we get to know about Mr. Patel. The book is a complete package of suspense and thrill. The characters are strong and complex. The story goes on by decrypting the hidden stories of the characters. 

The court room drama makes it more and more engaging for the readers.  The book is well developed with the elements following the pace all through the book.

I appreciate the writing style of the author as the narration felt realistic with no additional drama and made it a great read for me. 

It was my first read of the author and I loved the theme and setting of the book. 

Adding to the contents the language was crisp but needs to be worked on. The cover is really beautiful with the most suitable title.

Overall, a good read.
