Time to Kill is a collection of short stories showcasing Madhav Desai’s storytelling talent. Set in India in the 1980s, this collection of six short stories is replete with elements of mystery, suspense, and surprise. From the tale of a clairvoyant woman on a noble mission to warn future victims, to the bizarre suicide of a successful business executive, to a fun-loving but naive village woman being stranded during her first visit to a large city, to the title story, which is a classic whodunit set in what appears to be a warm and carefree reunion of old friends—the author keeps the readers at the edge of their seats with unexpected plot twists in this thrilling page-turner.
