An interesting story, but the reveal of the real murderer and the motive was a bit too pat.

One of my reading interests is in the British Raj, so the setting of this story appealed to me. For really good stories of that period, read M.M. Kaye's books. I have some still on hand to read and others on my WL. Her "The Far Pavilions" is an epic novel of love, war and intrigue. I saw the TV series base on it---back when I still had TV---and was amazed how true it kept to the novel. That doesn't often happen. I think this tells us the screenwriters felt they couldn't 'improve' on the story.
