All in all, the third novel by Raman is probably the best of the lot. Unlike most crime novels, this does not have too many highs and lows the narrative is linear and interesting.Įvery reader will be compelled to treat the case at hand as if they are the person solving it, because Raman’s narrative (which at times will remind you of Agatha Christie’s work) allows you to speculate and theorise quite often. The cover of RV Raman’s third book, Saboteur.Ī nicely constructed read, this one is very relatable, as we deal with various facets of e-commerce these days and are well aware of most of the news around it. It makes for a completely believable backdrop for the dog-eat-dog world of e-retail and all its little tricks. Another change we loved was the shift of city, from Mumbai (which was central in the first two books) to Bangalore. Inspector Dhruvi Kishore isn’t the cliched choice for a woman character, and throughout the narrative, she doesn’t fail to stand true to her bold character. The crime doesn’t have any loopholes on the face of it, and everything about the narrative keeps you engrossed. The corporate setup is easy to understand even for those with no business background. Raman stays true to his reputation of delivering an intricate plot with characters of substance, the right dose of suspense and bind it all together by keeping the narrative pacy. Cover of the novel Saboteur, by RV Raman. So, what makes it a crackerjack plot? Take e-commerce, venture funding, data theft and bots, and blend all that with a female cop on a Royal Enfield out to solve a murder. Fraudster and Insider were impressive, and his latest, Saboteur, takes it to a higher level.
Author RV Raman knows how to take the simplest of subjects (which are relevant, too) and turn them into novels that you wouldn’t want to put down.
