“Debut Mumbai-based ‘cosy’ – complete with baby elephant – keeps things heart-warming while tackling corruption at the highest levels and violent crime at the lowest. Endearing and gripping, it sets up Inspector Chopra – and the elephant – for a long series” ~ The Sunday Times.“The best review for this book would be a long list of adjectives: funny, clever, emotional, sensible, crazy, imaginative, fascinating, brilliant, humorous … I loved the characters, the setting and the plot. I started it this morning, and had finished it by lunchtime. I didn’t want to put it down, simply because reading it was an absolute pleasure. Eagerly awaiting the sequel!” ~ Goodreads
