Rich historical tapestry set during the times of the East India Company. Well researched and has hint of Rudyard Kipling.
Цікава книга, яка поринає тебе у світ колонізованої Індії 17 століття. Пригодницька книга. Сюжет іноді досить повільно розвивається, багато описів.
There isn't much of a mystery in this novel. I would say it is an atmospheric mystery where the setting is predominant over the action. We mostly read about the customs, sights and sounds of India. While I love India fiction, I also want a story. There is a murder to solve but it takes second place to the setting.

The setting change also affected Blake and Avery's relationship and their ability to resolve clues. While they were in India, Avery needed Blake’s fluency in multiple languages and his extensive knowledge of the cultures. In London, Blake seems to have fewer investigative tools.
This installment of the series was a miss for me and I will not be reading the series any further.… (lisätietoja)
