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
*Sunday Express*
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.
*Daily Express*
Death in the East is the best so far of an unmissable series
*The Times, *Book of the month**
The perfect combination of mystery and history
*Sunday Express, *Books of the Year**
A skilfully blended dual narrative: twice the intrigue, twice the
fun. Mukherjee is at the top of his game
*Mick Herron, award-winning author of London Blues*
My favourite historical crime series by far. The dark days of the
British Raj are so vividly painted. Utterly magnificent
*MW Craven, author of The Puppet Show*
The gloriously atmospheric Death in the East is his [Mukherjee’s]
best book so far, a cracking read
*Scotsman*
Death in the East is an outstanding work of historical fiction that
brings characters and their imagined histories to life like no
other writer.
*Imran Mahmood, author of You Don't Know Me*
Mukherjee’s style is elegantly conversational, his research is
convincing and one of his murder methods is ingenious
*Literary Review*
Mukherjee not only steeps us in the atmosphere of the Raj but also
recreates a teeming early-twentieth-century London, exploring
issues of migration and xenophobia, matters all too relevant to our
current moment. The author spoils us by presenting not one but two
locked room mysteries, the second particularly devilish.
*Vaseem Khan, author of the Baby Ganesh Agency series*
