Opis

Blake and Avery, an adept investigative team, delve into a complex case that intertwines food, politics, and ambition. As they navigate the treacherous waters of power struggles, they uncover a web of deceit that threatens not just political stability but also the very essence of a celebrated culinary festival. In a world where cuisine becomes a battleground for influence, the stakes rise higher than ever.

As their investigation deepens, Blake and Avery face unexpected challenges and dangerous adversaries, each step revealing uncomfortable truths about loyalty and betrayal. The duo must rely on their sharp wits and unwavering determination to unearth the secrets hidden beneath the surface, all while racing against time to prevent potential chaos.

I listened to the complete Avery & Blake series, wonderfully narrated by Sam Dastor, in 10 days. Sorry, if this maybe will offend the admirable Miranda Carter, who must have laboured over these books, as a lot of research went into them. I love the two opposing characters of Avery & Blake. However, Avery sometimes seems a bit too innocent and blundering. The atmospheric depiction of India in the first book and 19th-century London in the last two, gives you a taste of the awful British class system and how the upper classes treated the oppressed and needy. The 'sleuthing' parts of the stories were exciting and sometimes even surprising, but it was the historical background that kept me engaged. I do hope there will be more Avery & Balke stories and I hope they will return to India, as Sam Dastor's voice is so very well suited to narrate Indian material.
