samtherat17 's review for:

Byomkesh Bakshi by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, Monimala Dhar
2.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A very meh collection of the stories. I don't know if this is a fault of the translation, but some of the stories were really short and went by really quick (not in a good way). They should have been extended a bit. If you want to read Byomkesh Bakshi, I would recommend any of the other two short story collections: Picture Imperfect or The Menagerie. Definitely not this one.
