In a symbolic journey of reconciliation, the Monsoon Express is travelling between hostile neighbours India and Pakistan. The passenger list includes politicians, celebrities, former Mumbai policeman Inspector Chopra and his baby elephant ward Ganesha.
Then a senior diplomat is found murdered in his cabin. Accusations fly, tensions rise, and an international incident seems certain. But is the murder political - or personal?
Tasked to investigate, Chopra has just hours before the train reaches its destination and the news goes public. He must unmask the killer quickly if he's to stop the last journey of the Monsoon Express going entirely off the rails...

Critic reviews
Praise for the Baby Ganesh series
A most beguiling series
I can't imagine anybody not enjoying this book... the same winning blend of thrills, charm and local colour as Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
Keeps things heart-warming while tackling corruption at the highest levels and violent crime at the lowest. Endearing and gripping, it sets up Inspector Chopra - and the elephant - for a long series.
Delightful.
My criticism here is the change from Sartaj Garewal to Madhav Sharma - AGAIN!!!
Madhav has a lovely narration voice please don’t misunderstand me, but it’s beyond cringey when he attempts American accents (which have appeared in the novels he has narrated!) and it sets me edge hearing it. In addition, Chopra is only in his 40’s and Madhav seems to make him sound like a man far far older. Sartaj was a wonderful narrator and as I have read as well as listened to these books he makes me feel as if he really embodies the characters.
Please please - for future reads - save Madhav for the older characters and bring back Sartaj
Enjoyable short Chopra story- still don’t like narrator

The atmosphere the author creates with an excellent narrator of course is just lovely!
You feel safe (in spite of there having been a murder!) and as though you are really there.
A bit of the history of India too! what's not to like? only another couple of hours maybe?!
