The third book was translated by Arunava Sinha, who is the current doyen of Bengali-English translators. The first two were translated by Sreejata Guha, who was probably the first to translate Byomkesh Bakshi mysteries into English twenty years back, and then continued translating other Bengali classics into English. The three books I read were 'Picture Imperfect', 'The Menagerie' and 'The Rhythm of Riddles'. I think there are only three translated collections of Byomkesh Bakshi mysteries in English. After finishing one book, I decided to read another and then another. I decided to start with a book which had a collection of Byomkesh Bakshi mysteries. This is the first book I read for Diverse Detectives Month (Or rather the first three books :))
