Hugo Frencham, The Head of Chancerty, at the British High Commission in Delhi has been murdered and the Security Department in London has sent George Sinclair to make sure that it does not involve any security breach. Anyone who has lived abroad can sense the authenticity of Ironside's writing. Her depictions of the people and their behavior and the country itself is 100% right one. The story takes you from Dehli up into the Kashmir mountains. ( ) Set in India, A Very Private Enterprise opens with the murder of Hugo Fencham, a British civil servant. George Sinclair is called in from London to investigate. What ensures is very much a traditional whodunit. The trouble with whodunits is that they require interesting characters or very good writing to hold my interest. Ironside’s writing is fine—some of the descriptions are very vivid, but it’s generally merely serviceable. The characters are the real problem here. They’re just not interesting, and there are too many of them to keep track of. At 155 pages, nearly halfway in, I’m giving up. Wrong book, wrong time.
