A noted Russian opera singer who will be performing there shares a ride with him from the train station in the governor’s car. As they climb the steep mountain road, a sniper kills the singer and Sandilands’ vacation turns into an investigation. Working with the police, he discovers that there was an identical shooting a year earlier that remains unsolved. As he learns more about Simla, a transplanted slice of England in the Himalayan hills, he finds a web of blackmail, vice, and other nasty secrets behind the proper British façade. Ms. Cleverly deftly transports readers to an exotic locale filled with intrigue, suspense, and characters skilled in the art of deception. This is perfect armchair travel for historical mystery fans”. Booklist
