I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of escapism and my time out from a hectic world. The story grabs you from the outset and pulls you in and the storytelling really made it worth reading. Characterisation was on point and I know I will be looking out for new publications from this author or similar in the future. A recommended read.

Fabulous!

A wonderful escape into colonial India. The locations and characters leap from the page; you can almost taste the spices and scents.

Abir Mukherjee writes beautifully and with passion and wit.

An up and coming star.
