I think this book might have suffered a little from the reading slump I've been in, but it ended up just being ok for me. I liked reading a mystery set in another country and Mumbai as the backdrop of this story was really interesting. But, I also got really annoyed with how dumb so many of Inspector Chopra's decision were. He's supposed to be this incredibly experience police officer, essentially forced into retirement, but yet he doesn't ever seem to communicate with anyone so if anything had happened to him no one would have ever known. For how long he and his wife have been married they don't really seem to communicate well at all. No one in this book really talks to anyone else.

Ganesh was a bright spot in the story, but there's still a lot about the little elephant that really never gets explained. Still I enjoyed him as a part of the story.

The mystery here was simple and really wasn't all that difficult to figure out. But Chopra's determined effort made him a sympathetic character. I wanted him to figure it all out.
