catmum 's review for:
A Rising Man
by Abir Mukherjee
Sam Wyndham, veteran of WWI and former inspector with Scotland Yard, has been persuaded to move to Calcutta and work with the police there. He is still trying to find is footing in this strange new country when a white high-placed government employee is found murdered outside an Indian whorehouse.
This would have been an excellent mystery anyway, but I believe it is even more so because the author is a Brit from an Indian heritage who is able to give the reader insight into the thinking and attitudes of both the British Raj and the Indians. How do 150,000 Brits manage to control (enslave?) one hundred million natives? Highly recommended and looking forward to the next installment.
