When the practical-joking Maharajah of Bhopore is murdered in a cruel and unusual way, an Indian-born British detective in 1930's India must unravel a particularly confusing murder. This is a very good mystery and you probably won't guess the murderer. ( ) Though his Inspector Ghote books are probably his most famous, this is my favorite of Keating's books so far, mainly because I find the detective slightly more likeable. It reads pretty much like an Agatha Christie novel with the same sort of pacing and tone, coupled with a fun (though likely inaccurate) background of a maharajah's court. If you enjoy this sort of mystery, I would recommend trying to find this one. I believe it's out of print right now but I've seen it in second hand stores a number of times.

A princely state in India, 1930, under the British Raj. To Bhopore and its opulent Summer Palace comes a handful of Western visitors to meet the outrageous Maharajah and his entourage. There they meet the Maharajah's heir, the sensual Porgy, and his English chorus girl mistress. They meet the enigmatic chief minister and the aloof British Resident, with his dignified little nine-year-old son. And before long they also meet sudden death ... Various people in the Palace become suspects, and an imperturbable District Superintendent of Police is called in. But who will he find guilty of the murder of the Maharajah?
