3.0

A decent enough murder mystery, with some political intrigue mixed in. I guessed bits of the mystery but there were some twists and turns along the way as well.

Battle isn't as character as Poirot or Marple but the bones of the plot hold up well enough. 

A lot of colonial era racism which made for an uncomfortable read.
