This is a COZY mystery. Do not expect a psychological thriller or a police procedural. Expect it to be cheesy and lighthearted, and you won't be disappointed. It was good, cute and a bit predictable, with one twist that did actually surprise me, just not the main plot twist: that was predictable. Overall well written, with one exception. This story is steeped in Indian history, and it makes a huge error. It claims that Jahangir was the son of Shah Jahan, which is in fact the opposite. My guess is that the whole conversation feels like a paragraph was left out, and that the sentence 'Jahangir was his son" was actually meant about Akbar whom they discuss in the next paragraph. Whatever it was, it made me stop, squint, shake my head and go, 'whatnow?' But otherwise this book is pretty enjoyable. Will definitely be picking up book 2.
