About this listen

 India, 1922. A curse seems to have fallen upon the royal family of Satapur, a princely kingdom tucked away in the lush Sahyadari mountains, where both the maharaja and his teenage son have met with untimely deaths. The state is now ruled by an agent of the British Raj on behalf of Satapur's two maharanis, the dowager queen and her daughter-in-law.

When a dispute arises between the royal ladies over the education of the young crown prince, a lawyer's counsel is required to settle the matter. Since the maharanis live in purdah, the one person who can help is Perveen Mistry, Bombay's only female lawyer. But Perveen arrives to find that the Satapur Palace is full of cold-blooded power play and ancient vendettas.

Too late she realizes she has walked into a trap. But whose? And how can she protect the royal children from the palace's deadly curse? Genre Fiction Historical International Mystery & Crime Literary Fiction Mystery Traditional Detectives

Excellent book. Just loved the cosy warmth of the book. However there is an undertone of suspense from the very beginning that makes the book unputdownable. Great description of nature and a brilliant built up towards the climax.
