The conclusion was definitely a well-crafted surprise and I doubt anyone would have been able to guess the outcome in advance. Perveen walks a tightrope in pursuit of justice, while also coping with her feelings for a man she will never be able to form a relationship with until the laws change.Īlthough there were times when the story was a little too wordy, and the momentum suffered as a result, but with patience, it becomes clear why it was necessary to include those passages, which didn’t seem all that important, at the time. This installment is a bit of a slow mover, as the author lays out the political unrest of the times, but the tension builds, all the same as the atmosphere is quite unsettling. Her efforts are fraught with danger, more so than usual, as the city has erupted in political unrest. When Freny is murdered, Parveen feels responsible and launches an investigation into her death. Perveen is made aware of the protest when she is approached by a young Parsi university student, Freny Cuttingmaster, for advice about participating in the protest. Protests are in the works, planned to coincide with the prince’s arrival in Bombay. This third installment is centered around the Prince of Wales’s visit to India.
Perveen is a wonderful character, and I was very much looking forward to this installment, though it took me a while to get it squeezed into my reading schedule. He also insisted that Mr.The Bombay Prince by Sujuta Massey is a Soho Crime publication. Ahmad had crossed that out and written in capital letters that his wife had the right to cut and cook whatever she pleased. Perveen had composed an agreement based on her past contracts for the landlord’s properties.īut suddenly, her client wanted an amendment prohibiting the butchering of meat. Ahmad, an administrator at a shipping firm, was a well-qualified renter. Shah, sought an occupant for a bungalow on Cumballa Hill.
The truth was, the landlord and renter needed each other. Term sheets had passed back and forth between two men who seemed convinced that without yet another restriction, their respective honors would be stolen. It felt ridiculous to praise herself, but this rental contract had taken four months. The final touch was pressing down the brass stamp engraved mistry law. Lighting a candle against a wax stick, she allowed a scarlet drop to fall on the back of each envelope. “Well done.” Perveen Mistry spoke aloud as she slid the signed contracts into envelopes.
