Sam Wyndham
Date: 2021-08-04 06:54 pm (UTC)Length: 4 books (the 5th releasing later this year!), all 300-500 pages
Time Period: 1920s India
Shipping Potential: Canon f/m, potential m/n
What Do I Ship? Sam Wyndham/Surendranath Banerjee. Sam is a jaded British policeman who lost absolutely everything in the first world war and only gained an opium addiction in return, Surendranath is his fresh faced sergeant who is fairly sweet but who definitely is aware of the injustices of his world. They shouldn't be close, they shouldn't really like each other at all, but they just have this really firm bond that's stood up against so many things. I love the loyalty between them, I love the fact that they're able to laugh with each other and I love that they have each other's backs even when the situation is fraught. I also, trying to avoid spoilers, love all the complexity that enters their relationship in book 4 and the way they both react to that.
Summary: Sam Wyndham, hot mess of a human being, is posted to India after the end of the first world war. On his first working day there he’s thrown head first into an incredibly complex crime, and has to solve it with the help of the extremely intelligent - but held back due to the attitudes of his time - Sergeant Surendranath Banerjee. They keep solving crimes together after they’ve solved that one, as their relationship gets ever more complex.
Why Do I love It?: I love the sense of atmosphere, I love the interesting mystery plots and I absolutely love the characters. This is just really gripping from start to finish, really well done and compelling in many ways. It is so good, and it breaks my heart afresh with every new instalment.
