juliebcooper 's review for:
A Rising Man
by Abir Mukherjee
This was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad she introduced me to Mukherjee’s Calcutta-set historical crime fiction series. I loved the writing, it seems well-researched (taking me down several internet rabbit holes multiple times when I was curious about a real life character or event incorporated into the story), and the characters were well-developed. I’m particularly fond of “Surrender-not”. I always appreciate when an author is able to convey sights, sounds and other sensations to the point where, for example, you can practically feel the humidity. British Raj-era Calcutta is its own complicated character and I look forward to reading more of the books in this series.
