Peril at the Exposition

A Mystery

By: Nev March

Narrated by: Safiyya Ingar, Vikas Adam

Captain Jim Agnihotri and his new bride, Diana Framji, return in Nev March's Peril at the Exposition, the follow up to March's award-winning, Edgar finalist debut, Murder in Old Bombay.

1893: Newlyweds Captain Jim Agnihotri and Diana Framji are settling into their new home in Boston, Massachusetts, having fled the strict social rules of British-ruled Bombay. It's a different life than what they left behind, but theirs is no ordinary marriage: Jim, now a detective at the Dupree Agency, is teaching Diana the art of deduction he’s learned from his idol, Sherlock Holmes.

Everyone is talking about the preparations for the World's Fair in Chicago: the grandeur, the speculation, the trickery. And Jim will experience it first-hand: he's being sent to Chicago to investigate the murder of a man named Thomas Pettigrew. As Jim probes the underbelly of Chicago’s docks, warehouses, and taverns, he discovers deep social unrest and some deadly ambitions.

When Jim goes missing, Diana must venture far from her comfort zone to find out what happened to her husband. Award-winning author Nev March mesmerized readers with her debut novel, Murder in Old Bombay. Now, in Peril at the Exposition, she wields her craft against the glittering landscape of the Gilded Age with spectacular results.

awesome book

loved this book. great character development. can't wait for the next adventure. wonderful to listen to.

PERIL AT THE EXPOSITION:

Narration, Story, Characters, Detail, Dialogue etc... I really enjoy these books. I don't review a book to run it down. I've read both books in this series and I am looking forward what comes next.

Disappointed by Reader

Diana with a British accent was disastrous. I almost decided not to listen to the book. The story was not as good as the first book in the series. Maybe because it dealt with American history, which is well known.

Characters were lame

I loved the story when she traveled to Chicago, but as the mystery and story went on, I got so bored and frustrated with the characters that I hit the wall. I have developed a formula that works for me. The minute I think, " I just can't take these stupid people anymore, and poof, I'm done." I went many hours into this but hit the Poof Button.

Wonderful story

This was the second book I have read by this author! I really enjoyed it and I am hopeful to read more wonderful books by this author!
