This latest novel in the Bangalore Detectives Club mystery series takes the listener deep into the historical era surrounding the visit by Edward, Prince of Wales, to Bangalore in 1921. When the prince begins a tour of a number of Indian cities, he encounters passionate crowds demanding independence from Britain, with rioting on the streets of Bombay in November 1921.

The mood of the prince's subsequent trip to Bangalore and Mysore in January 1922 appears, at first glance, very different and is made to large, welcoming crowds. But perhaps all is not what it seems to be. While exploring another (seemingly unrelated) crime scene, Kaveri and Ramu become tangled in a complex web of intrigue, getting pulled into a potentially dangerous plan that could endanger the life of the visiting prince.

This new novel also takes us into the world of jadoo-Indian street magic-with sleight-of-hand magicians, snake charmers, and rope tricks. Kaveri and Ramu continue their sleuthing, with help from the Bangalore Detectives Club, amidst the growing rumblings of Indian independence and the backdrop of female emancipation.

Love this series. The Lady Detective is well written, the historical setting is very well done, and the food; so much delicious food!

Brilliant puzzle in a beautiful setting

We really enjoy these stories. The characters are almost too good - but it all works. Waiting for the next one.

Fun and curiously satisfying

I fell upon the first book at the library and binged the first two. The description of the socio political events and feminist through-line is a joy to experience. All in addition to the Sherlockian style investigation down to the street boys with hearts of gold. The quick witted protagonist and rich character development make this author someone I will look for in the future. (And I always now want to try the foods she described!) A robust and engaging series well worth the time and great narration.
