Praise for Barbara Cleverly

‘The historical background of Barbara Cleverly’s novel is as fascinating as the murder. Stiff upper lip soldiers, American heiresses, handsome Afghan tribesmen – they are all here in spades. A great blood and guts blockbuster.’
—Guardian

‘A well-plotted novel … The atmosphere of the dying days of the Raj is colourfully captured.’
—Suasanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

‘Spectacular and dashing. Spellbinding.’
—The New York Times Book Review

‘Smashing … marvelously evoked.’
—Chicago Tribune

‘An historical mystery that has just about everything.’
—Denver Post

‘Maintains the high standards set by earlier Sandilands tales, blending a sophisticated whodunit with full-blooded characters and a revealing look at her chosen time and place.’
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
