365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #245 (for Saturday): The Perplexing Theft of the Jewel in the Crown

I read the first book The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra and loved it. You would think that with a baby elephant featured in a mystery it would be campy. But no, that first book had a gritty hard boiled detective feel to it while also having some humorous and lighthearted moments.

I didn't realize this second book was already out, I will be adding it to my wishlist.



Book: The Perplexing Theft of the Jewel in the Crown (Baby Ganesh Agency Investigation book #2) by Vaseem Khan

Description:

For centuries, the Koh-i-Noor diamond has set man against man and king against king.
 
Now part of the British Crown Jewels, the priceless gem is a prize that many have killed to possess.
 
So when the Crown Jewels go on display in Mumbai, security is everyone's principal concern. And yet, on the very day Inspector Chopra visits the exhibition, the diamond is stolen from under his nose.
 
The heist was daring and seemingly impossible. The hunt is on for the culprits. But it soon becomes clear that only one man -- and his elephant -- can possibly crack this case...
