I enjoyed 1919 India at the end of the Raj when the cracks are beginning to show. Interesting characters. Plenty of action.

A solid 4 stars for this wonderful novel. If you're like me and enjoy a good read ( no pun) set in colonial India, this one is for you. A great way to start off the new year!

Fun read. First in a series. I will definitely read more.
