Review
"Thought-provoking mystery... promising debut."―Booklist on The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra
"A winning debut...Khan's affection for Mumbai and its residents adds to the novel's charm."―Publishers Weekly
"An enchanting start to a new series."―Woman & Home
"Debut Mumbai-based 'cosy' - complete with baby elephant - keeps things heart-warming while tackling corruption at the highest levels and violent crime at the lowest. Endearing and gripping, it sets up Inspector Chopra - and the elephant - for a long series."―Sunday Times
"The deep love for Mumbai and its people - warts and all - that Inspector Chopra shares with his creator infuses the novel from the beginning. The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is certainly a delightful and uplifting crime caper, but it also comes with an edifying dose of serious social comment, with many of Chopra's preoccupations mirroring those of his creator."―The Bookseller
About the Author
Vaseem Khan first saw an elephant lumbering down the middle of the road in 1997 when he arrived in India to work as a consultant. It was the most unusual thing he'd ever encountered and served as the inspiration behind his series of crime novels.
He returned to the UK in 2006 and now works at University College London for the Department of Security and Crime Science where he is astonished daily by the way modern science is being employed to tackle crime.

Lyrical and near poetic, the writing is smooth and the imagery is solid and evocative Review of Audio & Written Title
By Gaele
I’ll be honest, it was the synopsis and the fact this title was set in India that had me curious: even though I’m not a huge mystery reader I was expecting a twist on the more well-known stories by Alexander McCall Smith and his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, rich with the feel, life and people. And Vaseem Khan completely met and exceeded those expectations with this book.
Oh of course, it is a crime fiction story, and there are moments that hit that disturbing mark of ‘how could anyone do that’, but Chopra is so engaging and likable, flamboyant with a great deal of optimism and hope for good things to happen, it is hard not to be influenced by his manner. His wife, complete with a subplot of her own, is also fascinating, and the images, scenes and feel of the setting are so vividly presented you can almost scent the breeze on the air.
I don’t believe that anyone can resist a baby elephant, and there are so many sweet (yes – this story is at its heart, incredibly sweet) scenes as Chopra takes this unexpected life into his keeping, and the two travel on to discover the many correlations between them. Oh the mystery was clever, but presented in a way that just felt like days in the life. Lyrical and near poetic, the writing is smooth and the imagery is solid and evocative. I tend to the lighter side of the mystery genre, it’s often the characters and settings that draw me in and have me returning to an author: I’ll certainly be looking forward to the next from Vaseem Khan.

AudioBook Review December 2015:
AudioBook Review: Stars: Overall 5 Narration 5 Story 5
I was initially intrigued by the synopsis of this title, as mentioned in my initial review of the ARC copy of this title, and I was not disappointed in the least. The option to review this title in audio, with a narrator that could bring the musical lilt and proper pronunciation to the words and names was one too good to pass up.
Chopra is engaging, and the dynamic of he and his inheritance, a baby elephant is wonderful. It’s hard to resist a baby elephant, and the intermixing of animal and the belief system of those in the story brought moments of true joy to this listen. I enjoyed this opportunity to have a listen to a book I was already familiar with, finding new moments and nuanced elements to Chopra, while moments that were horrible in the first were doubly so here.
The writing for this story is lyrical and musical and the narration provided by Sartaj Garewal brought every moment of that musicality, accent, tone, delivery and pacing all transport the listener to Mumbai. There is a particular patois to the names and words of India, soft and hard consonants and vowels work together in a pattern that has a distinct flow and metre, emotional context, stress, tension and sorrow all adjust that rhythm to provide a solid understanding of the emotions that should be present, and perhaps just aren’t, as the mystery and solution unfold.
Murder, mayhem and a conflicted, if not always patient, Inspector Chopra all combine in a wonderful story that transports listeners and readers to another place, one of conflicting and often contrasting ties to modernity and tradition. A wonderful read or listen that will keep you coming back to passages, moments and imaginings.

Don't miss this one
By Mary H. Lesser
Inspector Chopra really doesn't want to retire. His last day at work brings parting gifts from colleagues, a case that likely will not be followed without him, and a baby elephant. Loved this book. Rich with the feel of Mumbai, it's a story of a good man who believes in ideals like justice, and of a very unusual baby elephant. Can't wait for the author's next book; I'm hoping this is the start of a long series.

there's the unsolved murder of a poor teenaged boy
By Elsi
I simply adored The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra. The novel begins on the last day of work for Police Inspector Ashwin Chopra. He's retiring after nearly 30 years as a policeman in Mumbai. But Inspector Chopra has a hard time coping with retirement. First of all, there's the unsolved murder of a poor teenaged boy. Then there's the uncomfortable situation at home complicated by the baby elephant received from his uncle.
So, like many retired policemen, Chopra can't just walk away. He keeps poking his nose into the investigation, discovering that higher-ups in the police department want the case closed quickly with a ruling of accidental death. But Chopra is convinced that the boy was murdered. And, back at home, the head of the residents' committee wants Chopra to get rid of the baby elephant and remove it from the yard surrounding the apartment building.
The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is a gentle and charming mystery. The setting in Mumbai is “exotic” to this Texan American who hasn't traveled too much outside the USA and is intrigued with the everyday life of people who live on the other side of the world. But, as different as India is compared to Texas, I could immediately identify with Inspector Chopra and his wife Poppy. Their concerns weren't different at all. Chopra has to deal with the domineering Mrs. Subramanium, chairman of the residents' committee. He's got the aggravation of his interfering mother-in-law living in his home. And the new Inspector is so jealous of Chopra that he won't listen to anything he has to say about the murdered boy.
Mystery readers will find themselves intrigued by the gentle yet persistent Chopra. Baby Ganesh, as the elephant is named, contributes his own charm to the story. All-in-all, a delightful read. I note that Vaseem Khan has another Inspector Chopra book due out in May of 2016—which I hope heralds a long series to come.
