Squirrels & Rats: Vish Dhamija

I wrote another synopsis of my book - as I found the last one too generic. Your opinion matters so tell me what you think - please leave a comment.

Mumbai, they say, is a city of dreams. More people dream there than in any other city in the world...and some dreams go awry.

Michael D'Cunha is called in to investigate a fire incident in the middle of the night at Mumbai's posh Worli Seaface apartment where the owner has died. He is convinced it is arson, not an accident - either for insurances or an adulterous relationship gone sour. But the only beneficiary is out of the country and the suspected other woman has more alibis than he can count. No one else seems to have any motive to finish the guy...

Who said joining the dots was ever easy?

An accidental death, a huge inheritance, an over suspicious police inspector and an inquiry that goes cold – a journey that starts in Mumbai, moves to London and continues.

Vish, I like it apart from the last para, it seems to close down the thread rather than invite you to read further - either remove altogether or start with it? The "join the dots" line is a much better finish. I would also try to get a line in about the detective's personality, that will draw the reader in more too. Best - R
