I really like this novel and enjoyed every page of what I consider to be a great story. The plot is superb and the characters nicely developed. Now, I'm being particularly picky by highlighting one teeny weeny error in the book, that of the name of the villain's valet, who has been described as a Hindu. But a Hindu won't have a name like 'Abdul', which is basically a Muslim name. A Hindu means a follower of the Hindu religion, and may not necessarily be an Indian (could be a Nepali, Balinese, Javanese, Thai or Cambodian, etc). I suspect the author meant it to mean an Indian who, to confuse everyone, could religiously be (apart from Hindu) a Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Jainist, Sikh, etc. But a Hindu (Indian, Thai, Balinese, etc) would have a name like Chandra, Vikram, Sri Kanda, Subramaniam, Rama or Sivanda, etc, and most certainly not Abdul. Just a small observation and which didn't affect the flow of an enjoyable story.
