A Necessary Evil by Abir Mukherjee 4 stars (Subdue)

[Rachel N.]

It's 1920 and Sam Wyndham and his partner Sergeant Banerjee are meeting with the heir to the throne of Sambalpore. before they can find out much more than that he received two strange messages the heir is assassinated. They soon find the atatcker but Sam thinks there's more to the case so he finagles a way for the two of them to attend the funeral in Sambalpore, which isn't directly under British rule. I really like the two main characters, though I wish Sergeant Banerjee had more to do this time around. the mystery was interesting and complex and I didn't solve it. I'll definitely be continuing the series.

I'm glad Sue moved me to this book, it definitely was enjoyable.
