Not my usual genre but a book I was interested in reading. Set in 1921 India, I enjoyed the background of non-violent protests, learning a little about this part of India's history in the process.
The book started very slowly for me, only really gripping my attention from just over half way through when the second murder occurred and the events began to link together and progress more rapidly.
