The mysteries are intricate, but sometimes hard to follow. The cultural context is interesting, but requires some understanding.

I liked the stories, but the translation felt a bit clunky in places. Still worth reading for the unique setting and characters.

Not my favorite detective series, but a good change of pace. The stories are well-constructed, if a little old-fashioned.

The Menagerie is the standout story. The others are good, but not as captivating. Satyajit Ray’s influence shines through.
