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.

Book
Martyr ( John Shakespeare book 1)
By Rory Clements
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This ingenious debut introduces John Shakespeare, Elizabethan England's most remarkable investigator, in a tale of conspiracy and murder that succeeds brilliantly as both historical fiction and crime thriller.
This is one of my favourite eras to read! I really enjoyed this book it was full of murder and intrigue in a very dark time especially if you were religious and on the wrong side. It’s definitely a book I recommend if you like historical fiction. It has some very interesting characters along the way.
