All right, Surendranath! Way to not take things lying down!
I enjoyed this installment as much as the previous two (still waiting on Smoke and Ashes from the library). I have to admit the cross-narratives of 1905 London and 1922 Assam just had me turning pages that much faster, but the ashram rehab line left a little to be desired. Similarly, the locked-room tribute to Agatha Christie works quite well the first time around but is a little tired by the end.
