'I love RV Raman's Harith Athreya with his cool, curious resourcefulness. A Will To Kill is a good traditional mystery with twists and turns set in a colonial era mansion in the Nilgiri Hills' - Ovidia Yu, author of CWA-shortlisted THE MIMOSA TREE MYSTERY 'Like stepping back to the Golden Age of the classic mystery' - Rhys Bowen, the international bestselling author of THE TUSCAN CHILD 'Modern-day take on the classic locked-room murder mystery... Athreya is a fine detective with a curious mind' - New York Times 'The influence of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr on the narrative is compelling...influences of author Ngaio Marsh... subtle, clear, ironic, but always elegant and peppered with wit; characters sharply, sometimes hilariously, drawn' - The Telegraph India 'We may not have our own Sherlock or Poirot, but the narrative tradition of Christie and Doyle has found a worthy successor in RV Raman. I cannot wait to read more of Harith Athreya's adventures' - National Herald India
