“The second in the Baby Ganesh Agency series…is every bit as captivating as its predecessor. The reason has much to do with Khan’s ability to craft such quirky, three-dimensional characters and the fact that he places them in such believable difficulties amid the rich stew of Mumbai…Fans of Tarquin Hall’s Vish Puri will rejoice, but so should all mystery lovers.”

The deep love for Mumbai and its people - warts and all - that Inspector Chopra shares with his creator infuses the novel from the beginning. The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is certainly a delightful and uplifting crime caper, but it also comes with an edifying dose of serious social comment, with many of Chopra's preoccupations mirroring those of his creator.
