When Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels, 'The Ibis Trilogy', ten years ago, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium.

Whispering Stories

Book reviewed on Whispering Stories Book Blog “It’s not unusual to find a corpse in a funeral parlour it’s just rare for them to walk in the door under their own steam. It was a riddle worth savouring , but I didn’t have the time, seeing as I was running for my life” ……….

Great quick read The other main character is Sam’s sergeant Surrender-not Banerjee an Indian working in the Imperial Police Force who had sacrificed his family to work in the force.

It is an excellent murder mystery and I look forward to more from this author. Another great adventure with sam Wyndham and surrender not bannerjee! I certainly was captured and drawn in straight away.

The book held my attention from the first line to the last sentence, the author describes the country and settings in great detail that it’s not hard to imagine Calcutta in 1921 a time in the history of changes when the Indians were peacefully protesting about British rule. This book is set in Calcutta in December 1921, written in the first person of Captain Sam Wyndham who is working for The Imperial Police Force.

Abir Mukherjee’s description of the time and place is so detailed I was instantly transported into another world of sights and smells. Captain Sam Wyndham describes that he’s far from perfect but is determined to solve the murders going above and beyond to get justice.
