It's tough for me to find books which simply grab me with their intelligence and quality of writing. However, once I do I generally make my way through all the work of that particular author. Donna Leon and her Inspector Brunetti series is a case in point.Barbara Cleverly has woven a tale set in the British Raj in 1922. Detective Joe Sandilands, decent, smart, human and intuitive finds himself drawn into solving a mysterious set of murders right before his scheduled return to Blighty.. His disappointment is mitigated by the appearance of a deeply attractive woman who is there to inform and guide him through exquisite British social mazes which envelop the crimes.A very cool and compelling adventure.
