mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.5

A very meh collection of the stories. I don't know if this is a fault of the translation, but some of the stories were really short and went by really quick (not in a good way). They should have been extended a bit. If you want to read Byomkesh Bakshi, I would recommend any of the other two short story collections: Picture Imperfect or The Menagerie. Definitely not this one.
