I recognize this as an important book, but I can‘t call it an enjoyable one. Very grim with few if any likable characters, and plenty of grisly deaths. The narrator was good, but not the best early-morning exercise listening.

Slow in spots, and an abrupt ending.

Well, this book was just charming, and exactly what I needed during this stressful week! So glad that it starts a new series.

Inspector Chopra has been forced into retirement after a heart attack. Surprisingly, a favorite uncle bequeaths him with, of all things, a baby elephant. As Chopra struggles to confront his retirement, he cannot ignore the drowning death of a young man. As he follows clues, his elephant becomes an invaluable assistant.

JamieArc Sounds charming 😊 4mo

For those interested in learning more about life of the caste system in Mumbai, this nonfiction will open your eyes. I found it difficult to understand how poor so many people are. The living conditions are absolutely terrible. The work some do in order to try to survive is eye opening. My heart broke for those who found the only way to escape was through suicide. Katherine Boo‘s dedication to detailing life in this book was top-notch.
