Very entertaining book, mystery taking place in London. Great depiction of multicultural London, reminded me of characters in "White Teeth".

Standard detective story with an up-to-date, multi-cultural private eye in present day London. Sam Spade meets Ali G. Lots of references to great cricket players and matches, if you're into that kind of thing (I wasn't but the book was still fun.)

Not often is an East Indian cast as a detective. A funny read.
