About this listen

 Vicky Rai, the son of a high-profile minister, has been shot dead by one of the guests at his own party. They are a glitzy bunch, but among them the police find six strange, displaced characters with a gun in their possession, each of them steaming with a secret motive.

India's wiliest investigative journalist, Arun Advani, makes it his mission to nail the murderer. In doing so, the amazing, tender and touching lives of six eccentric characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind?

I absolutely loved it. The author is fantastic and really did a great job in keeping us guessing.

Great first audio book to listen to!

One of my favourite books almost ruined by an unsuitable narrator. Would work a lot better with an Indian narrating.

Excellent

I enjoyed this book as much as Q&A, and I thought Lyndam Gregory did an excellent job, even if his Indian accents weren't accurate (I wouldn't know, but they sounded fine to me).

My wife hated the Larry character, but I thought he was fun. I love the way the plot wove numerous threads together, and the end of the book came too soon. Vikas Swarup is an excellent story teller.

Great Story

I loved the character development, the switching between the storylines, and the cleverly crafted story. Great entertainment.

A wonderful web

Book was over long and needed a lot of trimming. Learnt a lot about contemporary Indians- the corruption, attitudes towards rich and poor, women, disability, which was interesting. However, the poor narration let it down- there was little differentiation between characters- sort of important in a book whose plot pivots on its different and distinct characters.

A book in want of a good editor

Please, please, please can the people of BBC Audio not follow the example of the writers of Slumdog Millionaire and trash this Vikas Swarup's work. After reading "Q&A" and hearing the likes Peter Francis James & David Thorpe make magic storytelling of "On Beauty" and "A Company of Liars" respectively, I was very excited to see what "Six Suspects" had in store for me.
Disappointment turned to irritation when I was constantly distracted by the narrator's terrible Indian accent (of the era of Peter Sellers) and mispronounciation of Hindi words. This turned \"Six Suspects\" into an Indian novel but not for Indians, WHAT????
When we have wonderful actors like Lillette Dubey and Naseerudin Shah who would be fantastic at making this tale come to life, we are presented with Lyndan Gregory, sorry Lyndon, but not your finest work.
Audible listeners deserve better Indian accents! Here the voice really maketh the book.

Disappointing....
