strikingthirteen 's review for:
A Necessary Evil
by Abir Mukherjee
As in the first book, the location is the star here. We don't spend as much time in Calcutta this go around but into the kingdom of Sambalpore, where the British do not have jurisdiction.
It's been about a year since "A Rising Man". Sam and "Surrender-not" are still living together, Sam is still smitten with Annie (who is rightly having none of this or is at very least playing coy), and our boys witness an assassination. Of the Maharaja's son, who was pushing reforms. They end up investigation anyway even while staying in Sambalpore and of course the assassination isn't what it seems.
My heart is still stolen by "A Rising Man" but this was a solid follow up and, also like the previous one, I'm game for more.
