A Necessary Evil
by Abir Mukherjee
The second in the Capt Sam Wyndham / Sgt Surrender-Not Bannerjee series set in 1920s India. Wyndham and Surrender-Not (an English version of his allegedly unpronounceable first name) go to a princely state far from Calcutta at the beginning of the monsoon to investigate the murder of Prince Adhir, a school friend of Surrender-Not’s from their time studying in England. The story didn’t engage me quite as much as the first but the twist at the end was worthwhile.
Multiple descriptions of heat, humidity, and destructive downpours were a reminder of why I love Seattle. Plus, I learned that highly skilled elephants were trained as executioners to either slowly torture or quickly dispatch condemned prisoners.
On to the third in the series, Smoke and Ashes.
