I was enthralled by Inspector Ashwin Chopra’s inheritance of a baby elephant and the role this plays in the fascinating story. 

I was intrigued by Chopra’s investigation into the death of a boy, which he pursued despite having recently retired and facing opposition from his successor. 

Vaseem Khan describes Mumbai's sights, smells, and sounds with such richness that the book made me feel as if I were alongside Chopra both in the city and in his home.
