Ahh that's sad, was thinking of starting this series as an introduction to the Bengali literature
Maybe there are other better stories - but I couldn’t see Byomkesh’s skill getting employed in this collection. I too was disappointed.
Don't. Start with Satyajit Roy. Feluda, to be more precise. I have never been a detective genre fan , but the ONLY detective collection I've read , and in fact read 100% is that of Feluda. Never read a single Byomkesh, not Holmes either anyways. If you are ok to enter Bengali literature without detective series then the best starting point would be Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay
