Synopsis: On the day that he retires Inspector Ashwin Chopra inherits not one but two unexpected mysteries. The first is the case of a drowned boy, whose suspicious death no one seems to want solved. And the second is a baby elephant. As his search for clues takes him across the teeming city of Mumbai, from its grand high rises to its sprawling slums and deep into its murky underworld, Chopra begins to suspect that there may be a great deal more to both his last case and his mysterious new ward than he has at first thought. For when the going gets rough, a determined elephant may be exactly what an honest man needs . . .
Review: I wasn't sure at first about reading this book because I heard it was similar to The No.1 ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith which wasn't my favourite book, but I am now glad I read it anyway.
I really enjoy the fact this was set in Mumbai and loved the fact that it featured my favourite animal, an elephant. How can you not fall in love with a baby elephant who saves the day? He really is the unlikely hero.
Unlike the The No.1 ladies Detective Agency, The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra has a few running main story lines. I feel you can really get into the characters and mystery involved.
The only fault I can find with this book is that every now and again the book would reference something Indian I have no idea about. I would have to look a couple of things up to understand. Luckily this didn't happen too often and it didn't effect the over all plot.
I loved the ending of this book. It really got to grips with some of the nice parts of India. Far to often we see plots that portray a negative image of a beautiful country. The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra restores your faith in good coming out on top.
The very end of this book contains a preview of the next one which will be out in May 2016. Better put that one on the calendar!
Such a good read for anyone who loves crime, India or elephants.
