To quote another book, “Govinda Shauri always has a plan.” The same can be said for Francis Urquhart, the longest serving British PM.
Honestly, after the first two novels, I thought ‘The Final Cut' was going to be another dull read, extolling the sins of politics without getting into it properly.
But, ‘The Final Cut' impressed me. It was what a political thriller should be: absolute power, a shaky edifice and lots of sacrifices. Lots of them.
Tom Makepeace was too principled for the book. It made for a dull read that way. However, I honestly thought Tom Makepeaces's march would destroy Francis. In a way, it kinda did. The ending was typical of Indian political thrillers, but in this context, it made for the best climax I have read.
