About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The Times Audiobook of the Week.
Kamil Rahman, disgraced detective-turned-waiter, is about to find himself embroiled in a case that might just change his life...for better or for worse.
Disgraced detective Kamil Rahman moves from Kolkata to London to start afresh as a waiter in an Indian restaurant. But the day he caters a birthday party for his boss's friend on Millionaire's Row, his simple new life becomes rather complicated. The event is a success, the food is delicious, but later that evening the host, Rakesh, is found dead in his swimming pool.
Suspicion falls on Rakesh's new wife, Neha, and Kamil is called to investigate for the family, with the help of his boss's daughter, Anjoli. Kamil and Anjoli prove a capable team - but as the investigation progresses, Kamil struggles to keep memories of the case that destroyed his career in Kolkata at bay...and his past will soon catch up with him in some rather unexpected ways.

"A hugely entertaining first novel, taking us from Kolkata to Brick Lane." (Ann Cleeves)
"A rip-roaring mystery that's engrossing from start to finish...a refreshing and welcome addition to the world of detective fiction. One of my favourite reads of the year." (Abir Mukherjee)

Enjoyable crime fiction.
Not quite a page turner but sometimes, you don't want gripping suspense and violent detectives responding to violent criminals. Just good solid clue discovery. One of which is a bit all-too- obvious but we'll forgive that.

Not a Bollywood. But still good
I really loved this so well written and put together you have to concentrate as it jumps from India to London. The lead is delightful a wonderfully likeable character. I do hope mr Chowdhury writes another.
