15. Baby Ganesh!! I love that little elephant.

I also love Vasheem Khan's books in general.

I think it's time for something light and I have several of the Baby Ganesh books tucked away for just this purpose.

Khan has written some much more serious detective novels (the police procedural kind) which are excellent. The Malabar House series is set in the Partition Period; the main character is the first female detective in India. She is very smart and tough; she has to fight for everything every step of the way.

There are 3 books in the series so far. Midnight at Malabar House is the first one. The Dying Day is #2 and The Lost Man of Bombay is #3. You can read them out of order but I think reading in order gives a deeper knowledge of the characters, and these are very complex and interesting people. Actually, Bombay itself is essentially a character, and Khan does a great job of bringing the atmosphere of the city into the story
