Book Review:

I have been lucky enough to have been able to read and review every book in this series. This book is the continuation of Captain Jim and Lady Diana’s adventures together as a married couple. I gave this book 4 stars. In this book they return back to India because Diana’s brother is in trouble. He is the number one suspect of the murder of his business partner. There are some twists and turns as well as secrets in this story. Diana is excited to be back home but also upset because she and her family are being shunned because Jim isn’t from there or have the same religious beliefs. However, Diana wouldn’t change anything she or her family has done and in fact she thinks Jim has proved himself. Adi, (Dianas brother), is beside himself with worry about what has happened. Jim has many leads but nothing solid to help him. He goes undercover but isn’t able to figure out who killed his partner and things are leading back to Adi or surprising enough to a member of the family. What will happen if he can’t find the true murder? Will Diana leave him because he is unable to help or from the pressures of the community? You will have to read the book to find out. I do love the support of the family for each other and the love they have.
