Nine Dolls

De: Rupa Mahadevan

My first holiday with my husband's friends. A remote Scottish manor. Nine sacred dolls. One brutal murder.

We find the doll shattered on the floor, its broken pieces scattered like a warning. That's when everything starts to fall apart.

Now the power is out. A storm has trapped us here. And someone is dead.

We've only been married three months. And our first holiday as man and wife is spending ten days in a secluded Scottish manor with my husband's old friends. I've never met them before.

From the moment I arrive, I feel like an outsider.

And it's not just his friends. Things haven't been normal since the first day, when someone moved the dolls.

I told them not to — never move the dolls before the tenth day of Navaratri, the Hindu Festival of Dolls. They're not toys. They're part of a sacred tradition.

But no one listened. Even Dhruv — my husband — told me to stop being silly.

I know they're hiding something. I can't trust any of them — not even the man I married.

Now one of us is dead. One of us is a killer. Am I going to make it out of here alive?

Engaging Karma

This is an engaging story with twists, turns, relationships, and issues. Each chapter usually introduces you to one of the characters and their perspective. Pay attention to the first few chapters so you get to differentiate all the characters. I liked the humor…subtle and true. The women were strong and resilient within their own lives. Learning about the Indian holiday tradition was interesting and added to the mysterious air.

had higher expectations

something missing started out with high expectations then by time it deflated more and more till I know who did it before half of the book,I only liked the humour parts that was the stand out part,anyway get it as audible plus but sorry don't buy it

Hard ro follow

Storyline was good but being that there were 4 narrators 3 of which were indistinguishable and all chapters were in first person, it was difficult to follow what was going on if u missed the name of the narrator at the beginning of the chapter.

I loved everything about this!

I love learning about other cultures and add mystery and murder in? Hooked! From the getgo!

Difficult to track narrator.

The changing narrators sounded similar, making it difficult to keep track of the character arcs.
