Fantastic historical crime thriller
It's a rarity to find a historical crime thriller based in a country other than the US, UK or Australia so this was a refreshing welcome. Abir Mukherjee does a fabulous job of bringing Kolkata to life and bringing in a protagonist who is sympathetic to the 'natives'.
As someone with roots in Kolkata and having lived there for many years, it was wonderful to remember the humdrum of India. And more importantly weaving in some of the hypocrisy found during colonialism to make it a realistic account.

Mix of crime mystery and supernatural
Atmospheric Thriller with a disappointing ending
A 6 part thriller on the BBC that starts very well, but sadly the ending was a let down. A good haunted house vibe mixed with a crime story of a missing child from 23 years ago. The first 4 episodes were fine and some of the plot reveals were good. Unfortunately the supernatural element to it and the vague ending will no doubt annoy many people. It's ok overall but could have been great with a better finish.

Crime and Comedy
Two American comedians who examine the horrendous things that sometimes happen when people in small towns snap and commit murder. A hilariously funny show, which is respectful to the victims and their families, while laughing at murderers, incompetent law enforcement, and small town behaviour.
True crime and comedy can go together, and laughter and black humour are a good coping mechanism when dealing with horrific circumstances, and these two walk the tightrope between irreverence and insensitivity very well.

Jimmie's laugh
If all you're looking for is sports, look elsewhere. The hosts of Crime in Sports are comedians, who take a look at the life of a sportsperson and the noodnickery they perpetrated. They do cover the sports career, but only briefly and as a reference.
If you like true crime, hearing how famous people mess up, riches to rags stories, and amazing things you never knew, definitely listen to this podcast and laugh along. You do not need to like sports.

I remember when I was at university, I had an English tutor who stated that he though crime fiction was the best kind of fiction there is. At the time I didn't agree with him. I still don't.
Indeed, I think that if he had read this book he would have changed his own tune: this is needlessly graphic, uncomfortable and plodding, with crime scene forensics being the main 'draw' (if I can even use such a word about this) to any potential reader.
In short: one to avoid.
