This review is from: Where Angels Prey (Kindle Edition)


The microfinance industry’s founding principle was to ensure access to affordable finance for the poor of India. Trouble was, the ones in office abused their power by giving loan after loan, with no care that the poor were increasingly unable to repay. This in turn caused hopelessness and a rash of suicides. Unknown to these leaders, they were being investigated by two reporting correspondents, as well as the District Magistrate. Even with proof, the DM is held back from making arrests.

This made for an entertaining fictional story, loosely based on true events. I felt sorrow for the devastatingly poor people. Their hopelessness had me depressed, and I couldn’t wait to see them get justice. The smooth writing style had me reading nonstop to the end. The plot was easy to follow, with strong characters. I really liked the DM in particular. She had spunk. And of course, the climax was totally unexpected. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick, interesting read.
