The Setting: Bengal, the British Raj, shortly after WWI. A Scotland Yard inspector temporarily assigned to Indian Police Forces is called in to look into the mysterious death of an English memsab, wife of an officer in a famous regiment. Ruled a suicide, there are questions as the facts obviously say otherwise.
Terrific setting, great characters, intriguing details. The killer a bit obvious, but the details weren't, which saved the book. Scenes were well described and the characters, even the killer, came to life for me.
