Welcome to Litsy!

Back to work tomorrow and thus was my last holiday read. Sam Wyndham's second outing was a very enjoyable read. Set in 1920 Sam finds himself at the beginning in same car as a Prince from an Indian state when he is assassinated. With political sensitivity about independence and the geological wealth of provinces when Sam ends up in the province he can't help but step on toes + raise eyebrows as the plot thickens. Captures time + place really well.

Wow! My second #Roll100 read was this cracking mystery set in Sambalpore in the 1920s. Maharajahs, tiger hunts from the back of an elephant, diamond mines, opium addiction - and of course, the dastardly public murder of the Maharajah‘s heir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Page-turner par excellence.

I am absolutely in love with this series! Historical mystery set in 1920 Calcutta that really takes on colonialism and all its evils. This is the second in the series and it‘s just as good as the first so far!

This is the second book about Sam Wyndham, working for the police in Calcutta in the 1920s during the days of the British Raj. However, this one is mostly focused in one of the smaller princedoms rather than Calcutta.

These are interesting books, both from as historical fiction, and as mysteries. Captain Wyndham is far from a perfect hero (he‘s a morphine addict among other things), but he does see the abuses that are happening around him.

Meanwhile in Calcutta 🇮🇳...

Second book in this series, set in India beginning of the 20s. I really enjoyed this book and love the two main characters. #books

Starting this tonight
