Another book about Ellis Peters' India, Dec 16 2005
By S. Schwartz "romonko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death to the Landlords (Paperback)
This book is also set in India, but with Dominic minus his Tossa who is apparently back in England finishing a degree. I think the book misses Tossa. She is always an interesting character. But we have the indomitable Dominic and a very interesting Swami who is Dominic's mentor. The book is about terrorist plots and bombings and is set in sixties India. But it certainly could be now. Terrorists and bombings are in the news every day. In the book it appears that a terrorist is following Dominic and his party throughout India, and he is leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The book is fast-paced and has a very surprising ending. Certainly worthy of the great Ellis Peters!

Ellis Peters is full of surprises, Mar 11 2012

This review is from: Death to the Landlords (Hardcover)
Ellis Peters, aka Edith Pargarter, is probably best known for Brother Cadfael. She wrote several other books, some historical fiction (though very accurate to history) and some contemporary to the time it was written. One such contemporary series (now somewhat dated) is the Inspector George Felse series from the late 1960s and early 1970s.This book belongs to the Inspector George Felse series, except that Dominic, George Felse's son, is the protagonist. The book comes after Mourning Raga in the series, where Tossa, Dom's fiance and he first come to India. I don't recall specifically whether Dom stayed in India, while Tossa returned to England for her studies, or whether they left India together and Dom returned alone, or even if the book addresses this. In any case, the book is set in India, Dom is working with the Swami from Mourning Raga. There is a bomb-blast set by terrorists that kills two people while Dominic is nearby with some newly acquired acquaintances. All of his new acquaintances become suspect, and Dom, of course, is trying to figure out friend from foe when a second bomb blast occurs, killing one of their number.
The book is pure Ellis Peters, acknowledging the humanity of the characters, the beauty of the scenery and the surprising generosity and kindness of fellow humans in the midst of a murder mystery. There is a surprise in the ending that I suspect most will not have figured out.
Fans of Brother Cadfael will definitely want to get acquainted with George Felse and his family.
Listmania!
