5.0 out of 5 stars A Surefire Winner !, 30 Aug 2001

By	"foottapper" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Kashmiri Rose (Constable crime) (Hardcover)

As a fan of historical crime novels, a new novel set between the wars in India had great appeal for me. With so much run of the mill crime fiction being published, I really was not expecting too much. After a few pages it became clear that 'Last Kashmiri Rose' is something very special. Evoking clear pictures of a time long past, Ms Cleverly writes with a style and panache that keeps the pages turning to the very last. Excellent characterization and beautifully plotted this novel bears comparison with Charles Todd's - 'A Test Of Wills' and ranks alongside Rennie Airth's - 'River Of Darkness' (my top crime novel of 1999). A first rate debut, and the start of a new series; sadly I will have to wait a year for the next one. A Super Read - Don't Miss It !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping story, exciting denoument, delightful arch style, 8 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Kashmiri Rose (Constable crime) (Hardcover)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and eagerly await the next Joe Sandilands story. The mystery unfolds in a thoroughly comprehensible way - unlike so many crime thrillers -, the characters are believable and sympathetic, and the depth of knowledge of India and the social structure of Army life are both fascinating and impressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars new fan, 10 April 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Kashmiri Rose (Paperback)

Brilliant first of a series - very evocative of India - My grandfather served in India in the period in which the book is set and it brought back memories of his tales of life there in the 1920s -I spotted the murderer fairly late on but was totally wrong as to the motive. I am now a fan and have already ordered the next books in the series.
