Reception

[edit]

The Times of India wrote in a review "Although the novel is not quite a murder mystery or a crime novel, it is much more than that."[2]

The Hindu wrote in a review "Das employs a measured pace; there is a restraint to her prose through which the pain of most of the characters (pimp and cop included) peeps through."[3]
