My rating - 3/5

Blurb -

Mumbai, the Maximum City! Three close friends Pia, Deepti and Anushka find themselves targeted by a huge,monstrous, tatto- oed creature vying for the legendary icons which came into their possession, inadvertently. The relentless chase is on and the girls have no place to hide. A terrifying journey begins through the sun dappled streets of Nairobi, the rain lashed pavements of Bangkok and through the cobbled, quaint boulevards of Nice until it loops back to Mumbai, from where it all began. Will the men in their life be of any help? Are they mere marionettes whose strings are held by the Monster? Will they be able to cut loose in time? Desperate answers are needed and time is running out as the tattooed Monster draws them insidiously into his web.

My views - 

The Uchalambi Icons by Praveena Bhaduri is an fiction story. The story is so appealing with the good plot. It revolves around the three lead characters Pia, Deepthi and Anushka. They three were close friends from their university courses in UK all where lately settled in Mumbai. Once these three decides to go to a vacation for Kenya and there they finds three statues in exhibition and bought them. 

From there story gets intriguing with thrill of finding 'X', the person who follows them for the legendary statue. The Uchalambi Icons. In-between some of the chapter are similar to bollywood scenes which made the book so dramatic. Secondary characters without any proper introduction makes little bit stuck within. 

Cover is not that attractive but blurb is good, it provides what to expect from the book and story is also justifies the title well. The writing is good but still I expect it to be little better.

I have also impressed by the way author had developed the story and giving out about little exposure of Kenya especially Nairobi and also about Bangkok. Those part are good safari to wild life exposure.

Also story contains of love in-between this mess which justifies my reason to call it dramatic and that where quite a likable, just like adding spices to make good.
