Ok, a 1.5 star rating is probably a little harsh, but I just did not enjoy this M.M. Kaye mystery! I wanted to, because I enjoyed her Death in the Andamans and Death in Kashmir very much. I tend to not be much of a fan of stories set against the backdrop of WW II, so that probably played a role...

The conversations between her characters are vivacious and sparkling, and they are a lot of fun to read. She can set scenes and moods like nobody's business, and her ...
A wonderful book, written by an author who obviously has a great love of the country and it's 19th century history. Another wonderfully evocative book based on the history of a young man orphaned at a young age and brought up as a native and then swept up in the "Great Game". Lots of echoes of Rud...
It was good, but it made me realize something I was pretty sure of anyway: I'm not one for fairy tales. There's just not enough in it for me. I want more than just a basic outline of a story. I guess I'm too modern to appreciate them. The idea of the story is great, though, and if it was turned ...
