the unexpected inheritance of Inspector Chopra [very short book review]

What can be said about this book other than it involves a detective shadowing a suspect with a baby elephant in tow and climbing an escalator in a modern commercial centre with the said elephant, the suspect being none the wisest?! Not much, really. And none of it positive!
This unexpected inheritance of Inspector Chopra is a rather shallow detective story with one-dimensional characters and not much of a plot. The only original trait being that it takes place in Mumbai, India. But this book is not much deeper than the Bollywood movies it makes fun of. I am fairly glad I got it for half price in Coventry and read it on the way back home…
