A hidden gem!

A surprisingly interesting story well performed. The names of the characters were a bit difficult to decipher, but in the end the storyline made perfect sense. I was hooked.

riveting

only mildly predictable. totally enjoyable. I really recommend it if you enjoy good stories. I do feel it was time well spent.

Fast paced

Well done. Excellent narrations
A good story enjoyed listening to to it.
There was no guessing where you were or what was happening

The twists and turns.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept a mystery about it with difficult puzzles for the characters to try and solve. Derived from a supposed tale passed down for generations. There was a lot of uncertainty around about others around and possibly within their group with a surprise ending. The story was well written with a great cast of characters and narration.

Great story! Full of suspense.

I enjoyed the whole presentation. I did have some trouble keeping some of the characters straight at times, but it was due to my lack of experience with Asian Indian accents, though reviewing the passages a second time cleared things up. There were surprises at many points, and the use of flashbacks and multiple storytellers kept me interested and entertained. I listened to the whole story in less than 2 days despite having a busy schedule. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys mysteries with historical undertones.

Interesting story but a bit repetitive in the telling

I liked the focus on Indian history and there was good character development of the five main characters. I did not like how they all repeated the story from their own points of view. It felt repetitive and too long.
