The Damascened Blade Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The third in this series and the best so far. Good characterization, good plot with convincing motivation and a couple of nice twists at the end, excellent scene setting, you'll choke on the dust of the Khyber Pass, and as the author acknowledges in her foreword, the more things change in that part of the world, the more they stay the same. "

" Much much better than Ragtime in Simla! I can continue on with the series! Whew!!!! "

" Nice series... this one involved NW India bordering on Afghanastan in 1922. Some interesting commentary on why the region today is the way it is. "

" I think this is a good series, sometimes a little too predictable. "

" On a far grander scale than the previous two novels in this series. "

" Fascinating insight into the Khyber Pass and Afghani tribalism in the 1920s. Fun Sandilands book as well. "

" The writing in this series continues to improve, I thought the plot was interesting and held together well, and I love the setting! "

" Unfortunately, not as good as the first two books in the series. I didn't find the character of Lily at all believable, possibly because of Cleverly's strained attempts at American diction. I hope that the other books in this series return to form. "

" Entertaining enough. I do love stories set in colonial India! "

" another wonderful mystery starring Sandilands in India. good plot and clever twists. "

" Consistently good series with Joe Sandiland, the early ones set in India are the best "

" Set in 1920's British-invaded Afghanistan, it's an interesting mystery and a painful reminder that countries invading Afghanistan are destined for failure. "

" A very satisfying mystery and a quick read. I liked Joe's new female sidekick and hope she turns up again, though I kind of doubt it. "

" Another well-written mystery set in 1920s India. "

" Not my style but Katie, this may appeal to you. "

" Uusual well done mystery. I thought this one has a particular Christie-like ending. "

" A very good book with a very interesting setting. "

" I couldn't make it more than a couple of chapters before it seemed far too canned for me. "

" Another great historical mystery by Barbara Cleverly. I really wish I had started this series at the beginning though. These books are fun and perfect for times when you want a good, entertaining read. "

" After a strong start, this meanders a bit. But it's an interesting, unusual setting and the historical atmosphere "comes alive". A recommended mystery. I'll look for the two previous books. "

" Joe Sandilands #3 "

" All of the Sandilands books I have read are good reads. This is one set in India, and I think I like the ones set in India a bit better than those set in England. "

" Written in 2003 and set in 1920's India (now the border area of Pakistan and Afghanistan), the writer gives an excellent insight into the tribal culture of Afghanistan and the border conflicts with the West. A rather chilling reminder that, even after almost 100 years, nothing much has changed. "
