A Nest of Vipers: A Bangalore Detectives Club Mystery by Harini Nagendra
3.0
And, finally I have gotten a chance of post about the final book in the Bangalore Detectives Club series. A Nest of Vipers- the famous orange book by Harini Nagendra- third in the installment continues Kaveri & Ramu's journey in 1920s Bangalore.
Set against the backdrop of Prince of Wale's India visit and ofcourse during the independence movement, there opens a new mystery. With each book, the author has expanded and developed Kaveri's character. This time you will witness a lot street magicians, snake charmers and what not.
A mysterious disappearance of a magician- a major theft at a magic show - politics?? As Kaveri starts to uncover a complex plot while also balancing the tumult of Indian independence movement. The unique thing about this book and series is that story has always balanced the cultural and political climate, women's rights and added depth to Kaveri's character. As a women investigator, Kaveri navigates both societal expectations and her own personal growth.
This was a fun, enjoyable read for me and ofcourse completing the whole series gives a feeling of accomplishment.
I will be honest, I want to make a Bangalore tour after this one!
QOTD: Recommend me a book or show which has your favourite city or place mentioned?
