This audiobook was very good. So many different story lines and genres crossed, romance, mystery, cultural clashes, and even a little erotica. However unlike most stories I have read that include sex scenes these were both tasteful and necessary for the development of the story. I primarily wanted to read this book to get a better understanding of Indian culture, particularly since on my line of work most of my colleagues are Indian. I was disappointed, howeve, to learn the author is not Indian, as such I'm not sure how much was actually insightful and how much was regurgitation of prejudice. Regardless I liked the story. The audiobook recording I also thought was well done. The narrator had an Indian accent and had a mastery of the English language. I could ask for little more.
