Genre: krimi.
Verdict: A good start.
On New Year’s Eve 1949 at a midnight party in the palatial home of a British ex-patriate the host himself is murdered, though no one seemed to notice at the time. By some chance the investigating officer was the first and only woman in Indian policing. Sure. Everywhere she goes no one takes her seriously. No doubt this is true but to read it is repetitive and boring.
On top of that we get an endless mish-mash of backstories at the expense of any momentum in the front story. I did persevere, but only just.
There is plenty of India but diluted by the didacticism. If Khan continues the series I hope he brings more focus to the front stories.
