Awesome

I am impressed with the author's work. A thoroughly enjoyable murder mystery set in the British Colonial era. Inspector Shanti De Silva along with his British wife, Jane, go for a cruise to Egypt and board Jewels of the East liner. They are Joined by William Petrie and his wife Lady Caroline. William happens to be the boss of his boss, Archie in the Royal Ceylon Police. De Silva and his wife meet other guests like Lady Clara Pilkington and Veretia de Vere. Another fellow passenger Pashley is found murdered. Petrie and De Silva's interrogation leads to many stunning revelations. Another murder of Harry Delaney the cruise entertainer gets both Petrie and De Silva plunging deep into their investigation. De Silva outwits his boss as he brilliantly cracks the case by using his excellent detection skills. To know the true murderer, do read this book. Highly recommended.
