To know the answers to the questions, you have to read the book.
The story is full of suspense, drama, bloodshed, and mystery. but I felt that the author had written the ending in a hurry; it felt incomplete and incoherent to me. I was glued to this book the moment I read the prologue and finished it in one sitting. Talking about the language of the story, the language is lucid, and the plot is good. I would suggest this book to beginners. Now, talking about the title, of the book, initially I didn't understand the title but in the end it started making sense to me. I would say it was a quick read for me, and except for the ending part I liked the way the author has woven the plot.
