A review by wendoxford
Death in the East by Abir Mukherjee

4.0

This novel shook the series on its head! Crimes in London 1905 and in an isolated spot in Assam 1922, at a de-tox centre equivalent, no Calcutta backdrop.

I found the plotting riveting alongside the progression of the characters as India ebbs and flows in the end of empire tidal wave.

Place, character and period detail really drove this story.
