amarieb 's review for:

A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee
5.0

This was the first good mystery/detective novel I've read in a while! For a reason I can't explain, I was completely hooked from the first page; the historical setting, the author's writing style, the main character's voice, it really just "did it" for me. This book was the kind that I would find ways to "sneak in" reading even just a few pages whenever I could. I am extremely happy to learn that this is the first of a series and can't wait for the next one.
