E-grāmata: Bad Day at the Vulture Club: Baby Ganesh Agency Book 5

5 stars. Best of the series so far. -- Abir Mukherjee Another brilliant chapter in this highly engaging series * Crime Squad * Praise for the Baby Ganesh series * . * A most beguiling series * Financial Times * I can't imagine anybody not enjoying this book... the same winning blend of thrills, charm and local colour as Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. * Reader's Digest * Delightful * Good Housekeeping * There have been many insipid imitators of the Alexander McCall Smith formula, grafting a cosy mystery into a depiction of a foreign culture dripping with local colour, but Khan has the quirkiness and hint of grit to make his portrayal of modern Mumbai memorable * Sunday Express * Keeps things heart-warming while tackling corruption at the highest levels and violent crime at the lowest. Endearing and gripping, it sets up Inspector Chopra - and the elephant - for a long series. * The Sunday Times * A sparkling debut with a zippy plot and an endearing set of characters * The Lady * Enchanting * Woman & Home * Chopra, diligent, incorruptible and not entirely at ease with shiny new India, is a delight, as is his redoubtable wife, Poppy - and Ganesha the elephant, once he has cheered up a bit, proves a very useful ally indeed. Utterly charming * Guardian * A cast of intriguing characters that it will be a joy to see develop. But the greatest strength is the setting in the teeming city of Mumbai, from which the colour and atmosphere flows out of every page in this enjoyable, whimsical tale * Daily Express * A quirky murder mystery... full of colourful characters and insightful details about human motivation * Irish Examiner * The series continues to provide plenty of action and notwithstanding the humour that pervades every page the reader gets an education about the very real issues facing those living in one of India's largest cities. * Crime Review * This riveting, quirky murder mystery is a wonderful addition to a series that goes from strength to strength * Daily Express *
