Completely charming. I didn't realize this was the 2nd book when I picked it up, but it is quite easy to follow even without having read the first one.
A quick and fun read. Inspector Chopra's detective agency is off the ground and doing well, same with Poppy's restaurant. Ganesha is keeping himself amused, playing behind the restaurant and going on stakeouts with Chopra. This book's major case is Chopra trying to solve the theft of the Koh-I-Noor diamond.
The tone is light throughout, with the action split between Chopra's endeavours, and those of Poppy and Ganesha. (That elephant is wonderful, though I do wonder how they'll all cope as Ganesha grows....)

I liked this book more than the first one. There are many, so I will keep going.
Baby elephant sidekick will not get old.

A fast-paced mystery with a lot of side details--personal struggles, corruption, bureaucracy... it detracts a bit from the main conflict, though it creates some well-developed characters.
Not sure why I found this in the children’s section.
It’s an enticing read—I was mainly attracted by the elephant—but I’d recommend Sharmini Flint’s Inspector Singh series as a better read.
(Though that could be a SEA vs India preference)

Entertaining, lighthearted mystery that reminded me of a Precious Ramotswe book, only with elephants.
