A NEST OF VIPERS Bangalore Detectives Club, Book 3

AudioFile Golden Voice Soneela Nankani immerses listeners in 1920s India on the eve of a visit from Edward, Prince of Wales. This third installment in the Bangalore Detectives Club series is rife with intrigue, politics, and the fight for autonomy—for women, for the lower classes, and for India itself. Nankani’s brisk, distinctly voiced performance is riveting as she expertly distinguishes among the large cast of characters, who range from aristocratic members of the British Raj to highborn members of India’s upper classes to circus performers and murderous brigands. Nankani is particularly effective as Kaveri Murthy, mathematician, feminist, and intrepid organizer of the amateur detectives club. The story is a bit confusing if you’ve not read the first two installments but is worth the effort. S.G.
