Welcome to Litsy!

Something a little different for me. I enjoyed it. Learnt a bit about India. Easy read.

This one, the 5th in the Wyndham & Banerjee series, just didn‘t grab me as much as the others in the series. Strangely, Suren‘s voice didn‘t seem as natural as Sam‘s (possibly because I‘m just used to Sam‘s), and while the Indian perspective on British rule is important, I felt it overshadowed the crime narrative.

The 5th installment in this series continues the adventures of Imperial Police Force Captain Wyndham and Sergeant Banerjee in 1920‘s Calcutta, India. Their relationship has evolved until a strong bond has developed, constantly challenged by the moral and political issues always near the surface during the British occupation of India. It is their relationship, more even than the mysteries they solve, that make this series stand out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reading the newest addition in the Wyndham & Banerjee mystery series and it‘s excellent so far (about 25% in) because for the first time some of the action is narrated by Sergeant Banerjee. This comment made me lol:
“Sam would have cautioned me against trusting her…forgetting the many, many occasions where he had believed a woman more on the strength of her perfume than of her statement.” Such a good series! 🤓

The fifth book in this series set in India in 1923. Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Banerjee need to go to Bombay to find a murderer. I love this series and both the main characters. Also in insight to the political situation in India at the time.

I am reading the tagged book which I really enjoying. I am also reading The Unbroken by C L Clark and a nonfiction book called Island on the Edge by Anne Cholawo.
