An intelligent page-turner for readers who love a fast-paced story with loads of mystery and suspense, Sapan Saxena’s The Tenth Riddle is a well-conceived conjecture of history, mythology, ancient secrets, with a tinge of feminism. The book catches your attention right from the very first page and keeps you hooked till the ultimate conclusion to the case, laden with loads of historical and mythological citations.

Highly recommended to anyone who loves a great thriller while providing an extra something in the form of its history and mythology references. Pick it up for the story and the information capsules and end up getting absorbed in the suspense that Sapan has developed very tastefully.
