Book description
Imagine a real-life mystery where the world's greatest fictional detective gets pulled into a scandal as twisted as his own stories. That's the electrifying heart of Shrabani Basu's The Mystery of the Parsee Lawyer, and it's utterly captivating as an audiobook. Basu doesn't just tell George Edalji's story; she reconstructs it with the precision of a master sleuth, revealing how a quiet Parsi barrister became a victim of a vicious, racially charged miscarriage of justice in Edwardian England. The Times calls her account of Conan Doyle's intervention "fine detective work," and it's easy to see why-this isn't just history, it's a gripping procedural where the real-life detective is the author herself.
Hearing this brought to life in audio is pure magic. The narration pulls you into the muddy lanes of Great Wyrley, where a Parsi vicar's family faces terror and prejudice. You feel George Edalji's isolation as the only Indian boy in school, then his devastation when he's falsely accused of mutilating horses and terrorizing the village. A.N. Wilson's verdict-"Compulsive reading"-hits perfectly here; the audiobook's pacing is flawless, making you lean in, breathless, as the case unravels. The Spectator nails it: Basu "nails the nastiness of a peculiarly English scandal," and the audio amplifies that unease. You hear the weight of the words, the fear in George's voice as he writes to Conan Doyle, the detective who became his only hope.
What makes this audiobook unforgettable is the unexpected friendship at its core. George turning to the creator of Sherlock Holmes-reading his stories in prison-adds a layer of poignant humanity. Lucy Worsley's praise rings true: it's a "potent mix of racial injustice, Sherlockian mystery, and Shrabani's signature storytelling." You don't just learn about the Edalji case; you live it. The audiobook's warmth and urgency make the historical injustice feel terrifyingly immediate. Basu, known for Victoria and Abdul, proves she's equally brilliant at exposing the hidden wounds of empire. This isn't just a story about a wrongful conviction-it's a powerful, human story about faith, resilience, and the quiet courage to seek truth when the system fails you. Press play, and you'll be utterly spellbound.
