A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee
5.0

I really enjoyed this. I’ll definitely continue the series. Mukherjee creates a flawed by likable protagonist in Captain Wyndham and a great side character in Banerjee. I love seeing Wyndham’s reflection on his own biases and how his experiences are helping him to see the devastation caused to the native Indians by British colonization. The mystery kept me guessing as well. Overall, the character development and setting are top notch; the mystery is intriguing and well developed. However, I’d keep reading the series even without the mystery aspect because it’s just that well done.
