The Devil’s Lieutenant is a murder mystery set in the glitter of the Austro-Hungarian world. On the eve of the “Great War” where military traditions, values and methods lagged far behind the scientific and mechanical advances of the 20th century, a most foul murder is committed and changes the lives of everyone it touches.

This, however, doesn’t happen and the story remains an onion. Maria Fagyas keeps the action simmering on the back burner with just enough heat to keep story-line going and the reader awake and turning the pages. This is a book to which I'd definitely have given 3,5 stars if that had been possible.

Ayyappa Sahasranamam By Ramesh Narayan there. The reason why I wasn't entirely thrilled by the novel - even though it turned out to be a real page-turner and the writing is of excellent quality - is perhaps its report-like style.
