Meurtre à Malabar Hill

The iciest sin is blackmail, and that chilling crime is at the heart of this unusual mystery, featuring Bombay police detective, Inspector Ghote. As he investigates, Ghote himself becomes both a blackmailer and blackmail victim. Narrator Sam Dastor does an excellent job of bringing to life a colorful cast of characters, including the wickedly intriguing blackmailer, Dolly Daruwala. The Indian accents Dastor adopts sound very believable to western ears. His polished delivery does much to make this an engrossing tape and to build a following for the dogged, introspective detective, Inspector Ghote. D.L.G. AudioFile, Portland, Maine
