From the bestselling author of Murder at Rutherford Hall and Murder at Ravenrock, comes the third book in the Rachel Markham Mystery Series.
The Riverton Case
A Rachel Markham Mystery
Book Three - In the Mystery Series
Jeremy and Rachel set sail for Indian shores on the behest of a fabulously wealthy Indian Maharajah, to solve a case unlike anything they've encountered before. The journey takes them through the lives of Indian Royalty, and gives them a fascinating glimpse into the charmed life of British India.
Rachel and Jeremy must travel back in time to 1945, towards the end of an Era of the British Raj to solve the baffling murder of a beautiful young English woman - Kitty Riverton who was found murdered in a marble folly, on the grounds of the magnificent Dharanpore Palace.
They must also race against time to retrieve the spectacular Royal ruby necklace, 'The Pride of Dharanpore', which went missing, on the night of the murder. Their investigation takes them through the murky labyrinth of Palace intrigues and politics, where nothing is as it seems and motives abound.
Set in 1947, England and India, The Riverton Case is an intriguing sequel to PB Kolleri's first two books, 'Murder at Rutherford Hall' and 'Murder at Ravenrock'.

This book reads like a P.B.S. television mystery series. I am an Anglophile and enjoyed every page. I highly recommend it to lovers of all things British.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, August 20, 2013 By Jessica Strong
This is such a well written story. It truly is a wonderful book and I am sure that it is more than comparable to Agatha Christie. The time period is well researched and is informative of the time just after the war in England. I look forward to the next in the series.
5.0 out of 5 stars A respectable companion to Agatha Christie mysteries, September 25, 2013 By Jacqui
I have discovered this author only recently, and have now read two books in the Rachel Markham series. I am really enjoying the plots, the characterisation and the elegance of the era in which it is set. The plots are well constructed, the characters plausible and the skilful unfolding of clues and style are reminiscent of the best of the Christie novels. Rachel Markham and her husband make interesting sleuths -intelligent, ethical and methodical. I hope Kolleri will publish more of these novels.
Fantastic and well written, 19 Jan 2013 -By Forensic 321 (Amazon UK)- This is one of the better murder mysteries I have read in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed the picturesque narration.
