tom_beggerow 's review for:

A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee
3.5
adventurous dark informative fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In spite of the main character's bland and rather dislikable air, this is a very well done detective period piece that deals with its historical context perfectly. I intend to read the whole series :)
