Publisher's Summary

Detective fiction has never lacked devoted fans. The undying popularity of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot vouch for that fact. In the early thirties, a detective by the name of Byomkesh Bakshi made an unobtrusive entry into the world of Bengali fiction. He preferred calling himself a satyanneshi, a seeker of truth, and within days was a household name, courtesy his cerebral skills and the exciting situations he found himself in. In the tradition of Doyle and Christie, Byomkesh is accompanied on his adventures by his friend, Ajit, slightly obtuse and the perfect foil to him.

Good audio book

Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's works of fiction have fascinated many readers in India for a long time. This audio book from one of his works is a good listen and well narrated. Looking forward for more of his works.

Slightly Predictable stories but still very entertaining

Highly recommend this for little entertainment. It is not as thrilling as some other detective stories I have heard, but I enjoyed it overall.

Nice book to start with

This was the first book from audible. Narration and story telling was good. Good to listen during commute when reading is hampered by vertigo effect.

Awesome suspense and brainstorming

Just loved it. Just the thing that Byomkesh voice could have been lower pitch. He sounded like an very elderly aged person, whereas in books he is quite young.

Desi Sherlock Holmes. Too much resemblence.

narrator mimicing women voices was horrible. ots seemed to be copied ... 'inspired' by Sherlock Holmes.
