A solid debut by Madhav Nayak! This was an entertaining read. Solving a murder with the help of an old one eyed Umpire & and together with the Inspector-Constable duo, proved to be a thrilling, fun ride of discovering clues, going after suspects and performing good old police work. In between snacks and chai were not forgotten. There were good number of suspects who were all lying and being suspicious and a seemingly straightforward mystery did had it’s own set of twists and turns. To bring in the match fixing and cricket aspect into it made it all the more pleasing read. 

But if you are a veterinary mystery/thriller enthusiast, then the clues become obvious in due time.

I am eager to see what the next book by Madhav Nayak is about!
