Listened to this on audible and liked it quite a lot. Highly recommend. Has all the things I love. History, mystery, and a foreign setting. Along with a great way of story telling.

First in series
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I've enjoyed other mysteries set in India. Then Audible had this on sale for $3.49, so I bought it. (It's not available in audio anywhere else.)
Will I read more of the series? Probably Not Maybe Likely Most Likely Definitely I listened to last several hours at 1.7 speed, which is a sign of waning interest. Maybe the next time Audible has a good sale, I'll invest in the second installment.
The narrator was Malk Williams. He did a great job, even at 1.7 speed.

A fantastic mystery set in a time and place (1919 Calcutta) that is a fun and different option for a detective story. The writing is incredibly strong. Definitely planning to read more in this series.
