Critic Reviews

As ever, Abir Mukherjee brings sardonic wit to his portrayal of British rule in India and the action is perfectly paced, but this volume has a depth that makes it stand out. His best yet (Jake Kerridge)
In his most accomplished and complex novel yet, Mukherjee keeps the reader enthralled as the duo race towards a brilliant conclusion. Death in the East is a contender for the best thriller of the year. (Jon Coates)
Death in the East is the best so far of an unmissable series (Antonia Senior)

I have read all Wyndham series but this one by far I loved the most. Not only does it have two murder mysteries but it intertwines human emotions, fallibility and weaves them beautifully into the story.

one of his best

The story and story telling was captivating. One gets visually transported to the locale and shares emotions of the protagonist. Gripping story that holds the attention of the reader in the era of Instagram.

Abir does it again

This is slightly different from the other Sam Wyndham mystries. It toggles between India and England and tries to link two stories into one.

The actual mystery was slightly predictable in the end.

Good but not great

The pace was too slow but I loved the previous books and will continue with the series.

My least fav from the series.
