Perplexing Theft of the Jewel in the Crown | 
panOof. I don't think I can continue with this series. I keep hoping it's going to settle into cozy mystery, but the author, as much as they present heart-warming and earnest moments, also provides a great foil of human misery and corruption. While I get building tension and can go with the melodramatic flow most of the time, I had to skim the third of the book between a kid being handed back to his abuser and getting him out of there, I just can't.
The true escapism of a murder mystery: everything is explained. 😏
Elephant with defined musical taste, and an attitude.😄🐘🎶
pickStarted off with an “impossible crime” mystery and smack in the middle of this investigation was Chopra because not only was he there the day the theft occurred but a person from his past beseeched him for his help in the investigation. I love heist stories and there were plenty of twists and turns in this book to keep me actively participating in the investigation. Poppy is once again one of my favorite characters. An entertaining mystery!
pickThis is the second book in the Baby Ganesh Agency Investigation series. When the Crown Jewels are stolen from the museum, Inspector Chopra is on the case. Good mystery, interesting subplots, and a few new characters! #cozyinthesun
pickThe Koh-I-Noor and crown jewels are sent to be displayed in Mumbai. Of course the unthinkable happens and there is a theft- under impossible circumstances. Enter Detective Inspector Chopra and Ganesh, the baby elephant. Picture the search of an estate pulled off when Chopra dresses as a clown with Ganesh by his side. Fun, perhaps best on audio to get the full experience- great narration!

pickA pleasant cozy mystery set in Mumbai, retired policeman Inspector Chopra and his wife Poppy are gassed by criminals bent on stealing the British Crown 👑 containing the Koh-i-Noor diamond. And there‘s a baby elephant.

Continuing #Litsypartyofone with a trip to Mumbai
Heading home after a mini break in Vancouver. The weather is grey and damp, but not cold. Starting a new “escape “ book 📚
450+ titles on my Kindle and this is all I have for #jewels. Loved the first book in the series, though!

Chopra is a character I like, but I feel like I want to read him in someone else's books. 🤷🏼♂️ 12mo
