    I read this when it first came out and loved it, bought it from Kindle EBooks and read it again. Joe Sandilands is an intriguing character who reminds me of honor, duty, and other virtues that aren't so readily portrayed in more contemporary books. The exotic setting and the characters within in are well done. I can smell the tropical flowers and feel the sultry climate. The characters are well done and his mystery builds so cleverly I couldn't put it down, even though it was the second time through for me. This is the first in a series set in India. I hope the others come out on Kindle, I'll re-read them all. Highly recommended.

    Barbara Cleverly's first novel is a highly enjoyable murder-mystery set in 1920s India, drawing on the culture and history of that land as a backdrop to a series of gruesome murders among the British elite. Every year in March, a wife of one of the British officers dies a terrible death - all seemingly accidental, not to mention unrelated. The only thing that suggests a connection is that Kashmiri roses appear on the women's graves each year by persons unknown.

    After the latest victim is found dead in her bathtub with her wrists slashed, not everyone is convinced by the suicide verdict. A Scotland Yard detective named Joe Sandilands is called in, one who is eager to try out the new technique of psychological profiling in this case. Flirting with his associate Nancy Drummond, the young wife of an officer who organized the investigation, Joe begins to learn about India and its people. As he investigates, he becomes immersed in his surroundings, discovering that the clues to... Read more

    I have an interest in India both its history and the realities of today. I like historical novels just for this reason and mysteries are even more interesting / suspenseful. Ms. Cleverly does an excellent job of portraying the British Raj era and making you like the main character Joe Sandilands enough to follow him back to England.
    A good read - my only compaint is that I am a fast reader so it didn't last long enough for me!
