The Satapur Moonstone by Sujata Massey
4.25
I really like Perveen Mistry novels. They scratch the itch in my mind forged by years of reading Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, and Feluda novels, but with a female Indian protagonist (woohoo). Gotta give Sujata Massey massive praise for creating lovable characters like Perveen.
This book doesn't succeed in the brilliant way that Widows of Malabar Hill did, but is quite good. The prose is often quite simplistic, and the pacing is slow, more YA than adult, but the plot sings a classic mystery tune that I really enjoy. I will be reading the next ones (and waiting for Colin to turn up aaaah)!
