The Last Kashmiri Rose by Barbara Cleverly
4.0
A very interesting story, with a great plot and a mystery that surprises at the end. I don't know how accurate are the historical details but the book manages to create the sense of what might have been India toward the end of the British domination.
And yes, it's always a little down-putting to read from the point of view of the colonizers, but their bias is so evident that you know it's there with that very purpose.
The only thing that kept distracting me is that I have listened to Terry Wale as Sherlock Holmes and my mind kept going there :P
An evocative, attractive mystery, and a good beginning to the series. I'm already listening to the second one :)
