The next in a charming, joyful cosy crime series set in 1920s Bangalore, featuring sari-wearing detective Kaveri and her husband Ramu. Exquisitely well-researched and painting a quietly scathing portrait of the British Raj, THE BANGALORE DETECTIVES CLUB is perfect for fans of the Baby Ganesh Agency series, and Alexander McCall Smith.
Death stalks the streets of Bangalore when the Circus comes to town . . .
January 1922.
The Bangalore Constabulary is on high alert as The Prince of Wales is scheduled to visit the city to redeem his reputation after disastrous visits marked by violent anti-British riots.
Kaveri has none of these concerns on her mind, not when she has just been given VIP tickets to the famous Bangalore circus. But when a celebrity magician, shackled in an iron cage filled with deadly snakes, disappears into thin air, she is stunned to discover her friend and favourite policeman, Inspector Ismail, is telling her to leave the case well alone.
After solving two murder cases, Kaveri Murthy thought she had cemented her reputation as Bangalore’s favourite lady detective. But when death threats are left at her doorstep, former friends become foes, and the bodies start to pile up, Kaveri realises she has never been in this much danger . . .
