Ragtime in Simla (Detective Joe Sandilands, Bk 2)

Excellent descriptions of the time, locale and social mores of British Colonial India. The central character, however, does not have the attitudes of his time and nationality. Rather, he reflects more of a 21st century view of the Indians he encounters. That seems unlikely to be realistic but is easier on our eyes and is less distracting from the stoyr line.
