content: "Ragtime in Simla" is the third Barbara Cleverly mystery I've read, and I enjoyed it the most of all. Lots of twists and turns, as you expect in a good mystery. Appealing characters, even the "bad guys." A good picture of India in the 1920s, in the waning years of the British empire. Ghandi is even mentioned, though he doesn't play a part in the book. This is part of a series featuring British detective Joe Sandilands, who fought in the Great War (we know it as WWI). I plan to read later books in the series soon.
