This book is described as ‘charming’ and it really is! Inspector Chopra is on a revived steam train and his ward, the baby elephant Ganesha is travelling with him. An Indian politician is murdered and Chopra has to solve the mystery before the train stops or risk there being a major international incident. I liked how the history of partition was woven into the story (only where it was relevant). I really appreciated the Poirot-esque murder mystery. This was a fun short read. I liked the gentle humour in the story, even though Inspector Chopra is a very serious man, his observations are sometimes funny. I will be checking out the other books in the series. BUY LINK |
