Easy read, lovely description of the 1920s Bangalore and its intricate social hierarchies wrapped up in a gripping mystery. Totally recommend this for a leisurely read. ( ) Sporadically engaging and readable, the story provides a picturesque insight of 1920's India and the colourful life of well-to-do citizens. While it is pleasant to read about Kaveri, the main protagonist, the flawed plotting and unrealistic portrayal of the life and times detracted from a solid narrative. The novel is not plotted sufficiently well, being contradictory or begging belief too many times. It was enjoyable from a cozy mystery perspective, a bit of political/cultural tension. But overall the sleuthing/mystery part was a bit dull. The main character spoke to suspects and they just spilled their secrets. She moved easily from clue to clue, and the police inspector started sharing evidence with her. This charming mystery, set in 1920s Bangalore, India, is full of surprises. Kaveri is a young bride who barely knows her husband, Ramu, a handsome doctor. They’re attending a party at the Century Club when a murder takes place, and Kaveri’s curiosity draws her into sleuthing. Unlike so many traditional husbands who want to hold their wives back, Ramu is proud of Kaveri’s cleverness (though he’s also concerned for her safety). Another surprise is the police officer on the case, who admires Kaveri’s skill rather than being alarmed or defensive. The author weaves aspects of Indian culture into the story and even shares some of the main character’s recipes at the end of the book. I enjoyed Kaveri’s caper and hope to read many more! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: The first in a charming, joyful cozy crime series set in 1920s Bangalore, featuring sari-wearing detective Kaveri and her husband, Ramu. Perfect for fans of Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. When clever, headstrong Kaveri moves to Bangalore to marry handsome young doctor Ramu, she's resigned herself to a quiet life. But that all changes the night of the party at the Century Club, where she escapes to the garden for some peace and quietâ??and instead spots an uninvited guest in the shadows. Half an hour later, the party turns into a murder scene. When a vulnerable woman is connected to the crime, Kaveri becomes determined to save her and launches a private investigation to find the killer, tracing his steps from an illustrious brothel to an Englishman's mansion. She soon finds that sleuthing in a sari isn't as hard as it seems when you have a talent for mathematics, a head for logic, and a doctor for a husband ... And she's going to need them all as the case leads her deeper into a hotbed of danger, sedition, and intrigue in Bangalore's darkest alleyways. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
