How can this book have a “fast” reading pace? I found some parts quite descriptive and dwelling on Indian culture.
This is not negative, as I liked to learn about food, caste system and societal developments, I was just unexpected.
I didn’t see the glossary at the end of the book and it would have been quite helpful for me (not-native English speaker without exposure to Indian culture).
Overall, a fun read that I would recommend to anybody who looks for a mystery or detective novel with a cultural twist.
