CHEATING DEATH

Sam Dastor is not the only narrator who can perfectly reproduce the voice and personality of Inspector Ghote, Bombay Crime Branch. In this superb narration Garard Green brings to life, not only Ghote, but all the colorful denizens of a seedy Bombay college: protesting students, inept administrators and "ivory-tower wallahs." Ghote is there to investigate the theft of examination papers and an attempted murder. Unlike mysteries with complicated plots which can be difficult to follow, especially while commuting, this simple story with its leisurely narration offers pure, undemanding pleasure.
