Product Description

Kauveramma loved life. She was terrified of water. So why was her body found floating gruesomely, hair fanned out, limbs outspread, in the well of the family compound?

Her sons, daughter, grandchildren-some of them resident, others far-flung-assemble at her death with expressions ranging from composed or confused to those of outright maniacal grief.

Things don't quite fit, and one of them demands an investigation into the mysterious drowning.

Enter a policeman, Inspector Valmiki Nagarajan, and a charming rogue, Hamid Pasha.

The latter is an elderly Muslim and a reformed criminal who spouts ghazals, has exquisite manners, and it's clear he's the brains of the two. He and the policeman regard each other with reluctant admiration and gruff affection.

They have been on opposite sides of the law and clashed in the past, and that has formed an unstated bond.

The duo interrogates each member of the family and staff in turn, unearthing secrets of their past, and calculating the degrees of their love, hatred or loyalty to Kauveramma-and each other.

As it happens, everyone had something to gain from Kauveramma's banishment from their lives.

Glad I bought these

Great value for money. 58 proper-sized books at this price is a steal. Add to it that you have so much flexibility: you can read on any app or any device you want, and you can even convert these files into different file formats. Even the bonuses are so well put together. I'd not heard of Sharath Komarraju before, so I was hesitant about placing this order, but I am glad I did. You will be too!

Beautiful Variety!

Excellent reads! I'm a long-time crime fiction reader, and I am impressed by the variety on offer in these four books. Even the two Birbal books are dissimilar enough from each other to keep the reader's interest. Murder in Amaravati is a slow-burn, Banquet on the Dead is urban and fast-paced, Crows of Agra is a historical, and Tree Bears Witness is an impossible murder. Something for everyone.

What sets these guides apart is Sharath's contemplative approach to character analysis—he doesn't just explain relationships but illuminates motivations with remarkable precision. I particularly appreciate how he clearly distinguishes facts from personal interpretation, allowing readers to form their own conclusions. Very satisfied!

Superb Ending!

Okay, I must admit - the ending elevated this book for me. I was going to give it a three or four star, but the final chapter made it a five. Definitely checking out more of Sharath Komarraju's books. Okay, I must admit - the ending elevated this book for me.

The 52 books spanning over 6000 pages might seem intimidating, but Sharath's conversational writing style makes you feel good. The Mahabharata Character Guides Omnibus became my favorite section as it helped me understand the complex motivations behind each character's actions. Highly recommended!

Worth Reading

Definitely worth reading. I generally don't like crime fiction all that much, but this one kept me reading through the day. Something about the Malgudi-like atmosphere that is present in Amaravati. I like Krishna Shastri, but identify more with Venkat Reddy. Lovely little story. Definitely worth reading.

Great value for money. 58 proper-sized books at this price is a steal. Add to it that you have so much flexibility: you can read on any app or any device you want, and you can even convert these files into different file formats. Even the bonuses are so well put together. I'd not heard of Sharath Komarraju before, so... Great value for money. 58 proper-sized books at this price is a steal.

Beautiful Variety!

Excellent reads! I'm a long-time crime fiction reader, and I am impressed by the variety on offer in these four books. Even the two Birbal books are dissimilar enough from each other to keep the reader's interest. Murder in Amaravati is a slow-burn, Banquet on the Dead is urban and fast-paced, Crows of Agra is a historical, and Tree Bears Witness is an impossible murder. Something for everyone.

Deep yet Accessible

What sets these guides apart is Sharath's contemplative approach to character analysis—he doesn't just explain relationships but illuminates motivations with remarkable precision. I particularly appreciate how he clearly distinguishes facts from personal interpretation, allowing readers to form their own conclusions. Very satisfied!

Superb Ending!

Okay, I must admit - the ending elevated this book for me. I was going to give it a three or four star, but the final chapter made it a five. Definitely checking out more of Sharath Komarraju's books. Okay, I must admit - the ending elevated this book for me.

Inspirational

The 52 books spanning over 6000 pages might seem intimidating, but Sharath's conversational writing style makes you feel good. The Mahabharata Character Guides Omnibus became my favorite section as it helped me understand the complex motivations behind each character's actions. Highly recommended!

Perfect Harmony

I'd heard of Sharath Komarraju before, but from his short stories. I thought he had stopped writing. Good to rediscover these novels! Glad I took a chance on these!

Worth Reading

Definitely worth reading. I generally don't like crime fiction all that much, but this one kept me reading through the day. Something about the Malgudi-like atmosphere that is present in Amaravati. I like Krishna Shastri, but identify more with Venkat Reddy. Lovely little story. Definitely worth reading.
