Death of a Lesser God by Vaseem Khan
4.0
3.5✨
I felt like I've been hate-reading this series but it paid off in this last instalment.
'Death of a Lesser God' fulfills the promise of the potential of the series that started in 'Murder at Malabar House'. Khan's decision to include other perspectives definitely helped this book, flushing out other characters well, and Persis really grew as a character in this instalment.
The mystery was well done, and as per usual Khan's real strength is intertwining the mystery with its setting, both in period and in place.
I still have some gripes with the writing- but in fairness I suspect that has as much to do with editing as with the actual writing, for example the typo of 'boiling' instead of 'broiling'.
That being said I'm certainly looking forward to the next book in the series now.
