Engaging but a Bit Slow at Times
The story of 'Murder in Old Bombay' had some really interesting twists, but I found certain parts dragged on a bit too much. While Captain Jim and Lady Diana’s chemistry is delightful, I felt like the pacing could have been a bit tighter. Still, worth a read for the mystery enthusiasts!

Couldn’t Connect with the Characters
I wanted to love 'Murder in Old Bombay', but I just didn’t connect with Captain Jim and Lady Diana. The plot was intriguing, but I expected more development from the characters. Might be better for someone else; I just didn't find it engaging enough.
