Missing in Mumbai delves into the complexities of contemporary India. Akrivou's writing is immersive, bringing Mumbai to life with vivid descriptions and rich detail. The city's pulse can be felt on every page. The characters are well-developed and multifaceted, each with their own hidden depths and motivations.

Although the pace is slower than what I typically prefer my mystery/thrillers to be, Akrivou skillfully builds suspense, maintaining a sense of urgency and anticipation throughout.
