With this novel, Cleverly does not take the simple route. She writes a complex plot, throwing suspect after suspect into the light. You assume it has to be one person – in fact, you’re so sure of it – just to have the rug (Indian, of course) pulled out from under you. Then she mixes it up with another unexplained murder. Cleverly has really done her research into this era of India, showing a world most people have never known. For those who enjoy a nice, little mannered whodunit, you will be in heaven, as Cleverly reminds you of a certain other female author from the UK who wrote a few mysteries in her time. –Bruce Grossman [...] [...] Now Joe is asked to look into this crime and to look after the third heir, a 12-year-old.
