India, 1922. In Panikhat, 50 miles from Calcutta, the wives of officers in the Bengal Greys have been dying violently, one every year and always in March. All the deaths are bizarre and seem accidental. The only link between them is the small red roses that mysteriously appear on the women’s graves on the anniversaries of their deaths.

The first victim perished in a fire, the second was bitten by a cobra, another was thrown off her horse into a ravine, while the fourth drowned. When the fifth, the pretty young wife of Captain Somersham, is found with her wrists cut, the Governor of Bengal refuses to accept a suicide verdict and calls for help from the reluctant Joe Sandilands, currently on secondment to the Bengal police.

Would you listen to The Last Kashmiri Rose again? Why?

A well presented mystery in a slightly different time - the height of the British Raj. Good sense of time and place.

A good example

I really enjoyed this book, loved the period and setting, more of an updated Agatha Christie so if your looking for gore move on,but if your looking for s good murder mystery for a wet Sunday afternoon can't go wrong with this.

really good

Excellent new (for me) historical murder mystery. The plot was unusual and yet believable, and what's more, the careful slueth reader has a fair shot at working it out (although it isn't easy).

Believable plot

This is the first book in a series and the first I have read. The writer vividly captures the sights, sounds and ways of India and the plot keeps you guessing to the end. Thoroughly enjoyable and I will certainly be listening to more in the series. Also enjoyed the narration by Terry Wale.

Excellent story to keep you enthralled

A first in the series about Joe Sandilands the Scotland Yard detective on secondment to India at the beginning of the 1920's. 5 mysterious deaths, a close knit community where every one knows every one. India still being ruled by Britain which causes resentment within the native population add some evocative descriptive narrative of India and it makes for a darn good read.

This book Is a gentle flowing story, which admittedly didn't need much brain power to solve the who dun it but it was a refreshing change from my normal guts and gore thrillers. I found the characters to have substance especially the two main protagonists so much so that I will invest a credit on book 2 to see how they get on.

An enjoyable, cleverly written gentle who dun it..
