'Few if any contemporary writers are as entertaining as the remarkable HRF Keating. May the redoubtable Ghote go on for ever' Len Deighton
Product Description
In his newest case Inspector Ghote finds himself working outside of the police force, as he becomes involved in tracking the brutal killer of a lowly peon, one of the underclass in Bombay society. Because of his low status, Bikram's death would be ignored but as his severed head landed on Ghote's desk, he feels it's up to him to find out what happened.

Ghote good; book bad,
By SJJones (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Case for Inspector Ghote, A (Hardcover)
I like Inspector Ghote as a character, but most of this book comprises his internal monologues about what he should do next, or not, or might do, later, perhaps, at some point, possibly tomorrow, all being well. It's a lot of verbiage that does little to disguise the fact that not an awful lot happens in the story. Certainly not much detective work goes on, but thankfully this is not necessary as the Inspector can always rely on blind luck to help him through - most of his leads are picked up through improbable coincidences. Also, there's a bizarre episode where he misses out on a good chance to catch a murderer just because his wife wants him to go somewhere else. As a reader I felt insulted by the assumption that I would swallow this nonsense. The ending is a disappointment, it's as if the author reached the required word count then wrapped things up as quickly as possible.

Inspector Ghote getting silly?,
This review is from: Small Case for Inspector Ghote, A (Hardcover)
Hmm. As a Ghote devotee for many years I was delighted to find this offering. Ved has gone back to being a baby-strange according to the supposed publication date. Frankly although the internalised Ghotaic conversations were as good as ever,as was the descriptive writing, I felt the plot was very thin indeed and not at all up to Keating's usual standard.
If you like Ghote it's worth a look- but if in doubt you might be better to wait until it's available in paperback!
