Private India is a thriller novel by James Patterson and Ashwin Sanghi, the eighth book in the Private series, featuring the head of the Mumbai branch of the elite Private investigation agency, Santosh Wagh. The book, also published as Private India: City on Fire in the US, follows Wagh as he investigates a chilling series of ritualistic murders targeting women across Mumbai.

Plot Summary
Santosh Wagh, despite his personal struggles with alcoholism, leads the Mumbai branch of Jack Morgan`s worldwide investigation agency, Private. He and his team are tasked with solving a series of seemingly unrelated murders of women, who are found with strange objects placed at the crime scenes, following a pattern linked to the nine avatars of the Hindu Goddess Durga.
As the body count rises, the team races against time to find a link between the victims and the killer`s identity. Concurrently, a separate and potentially massive danger threatens the city of Mumbai, and the agency itself faces an internal threat that could destroy it from within. Wagh must confront his past demons to prevent a potential disaster involving thousands of innocent citizens.

Reception

Customer and expert opinions on Private India are mixed.

Praise: Reviewers often describe the book as a `compulsive page turner` with plenty of twists that keeps the reader guessing until the end. The combination of Patterson`s fast-paced style and Sanghi`s detailed research into Indian culture and the Mumbai setting is frequently highlighted as a strength, offering an informative and gripping experience.
Criticism: Some readers find the writing quality and character development inconsistent or poor, with too many characters making it difficult to follow. The pacing is sometimes described as slower than other books in the Private series, with some finding the plot predictable despite the twists.
