This book is the 3rd installment of the Bangalore Detectives Club series. It takes place during the time of Prince Edward of England's visit to Bangalore & Mysore India in 1922. Kaveri and her husband Ramu become tangled in a plot that could endanger the life of the visiting Prince.

Likes:
-Explore history of the time when India is fighting for independence
-Learn about Indian culture during the time period the story is set in
-Characters are like-able. Kaveri & Ramu's relationship is so cute. I like that Kaveri wants to help everyone & doesn't stick to the caste boundaries. Ramu is progressive in his relationship with Kaveri & the other women in his life. He doesn't try to control Kaveri, but encourages her dreams and ideas.
-A welcome plot twist at the end of the story

Dislikes:
-Ramu acts out of character by trying to get Kaveri to not investigate
-Plot wasn't as enjoyable as the previous books

Overall, this is a decent entry in the series. I felt bad for Kaveri in this story because it seemed like everyone was being hard on her. Lots of twists & red herrings to keep you guessing. If you like the Perveen Mistry series by Sujata Massey [b:The Widows of Malabar Hill|35133064|The Widows of Malabar Hill (Perveen Mistry, #1)|Sujata Massey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1497293192l/35133064._SX50_.jpg|56455399] or the Captain Jim & Lady Diana series by Nev March [b:Murder in Old Bombay|49127434|Murder in Old Bombay (Captain Jim and Lady Diana Mysteries, #1)|Nev March|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597415249l/49127434._SY75_.jpg|74580752], you'll enjoy this series.
