Returning from Kolkata yesterday, read a Rex Stout book after a long time. Gifted by a niece (the author is hard to find in bookstores), the title is "In the Best Families". A racy read, with my favorite detective, Nero Wolfe, outdoing himself in this one. He actually disappears, lock, stock and barrel, because of a challenge from a New York Don, while solving a case for a wealthy lady client. She gets bumped off, and the husband is the prime suspect.
A lot of action, most of it unexpected, keeps the pace brisk, and I managed to finish the book in two sittings- which is pretty rare these days.
Had a great alumni meet of IMT Nagpur alumni at Kolkata. The weather was unbelievable, with light showers. Also met an old alum of my own batch at IIMB, which was an unexpected bonus. Kolkata remains the same, though it seems to be heading for political upheaval, if the papers are to be believed.
