Thank you, NetGalley, for this digital ARC. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and unbiased.
This book was amazing. I could call it a British version of [b:American Gods|30165203|American Gods (American Gods, #1)|Neil Gaiman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1462924585l/30165203._SY75_.jpg|1970226], but I don't think that would even do it justice. The main character is the Hindu goddess Saraswati living as a human being, working as a police detective. Her day to day investigations are interrupted by a murder that has obviously (to her) been committed by other gods. Many different gods appear: Greek, Norse, British, and of course other Hindu gods.
The writing is top notch, the plot perfectly paced, and the characters are well-written and interesting. Even the side characters at the police station are well-developed. This book was five stars all the way through. Sometimes I am not sure how I will rate something until the end, but with this novel I was simply dreading the end because I loved it so much.
