About this listen

The delightful second novel in the Mumbai-set Baby Ganesh Detective Agency series.

When the Koh-i-Noor diamond is stolen from an exhibition of the crown jewels, only one man - and his elephant - can crack the case....

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 is 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....

It's a shame because this is a good little story. Nothing too amazing, but a nice way to spend some time. However, the narrator's strong accent often means that you're having to concentrate too heavily on what is being said.

Good but the narrator's accent causes problems

Loved the story and the atmospheric setting of India...but the narrator makes it. Didn't realise how important Sartaj Garewal is to the telling of the tale until the narrator changed for the third book, and ruined it.

Great tale!
