I have actually thought about this before, however, not in the realm of
books, but in plays. For fun (when I have the time and the drive) I do
a littleplay writing , and I considered doing a murder mystery. Well
more accurately I thought about where I would set one should I write
one. So I decided that I would set it in the last days of the British
Raj in India.

This is weird I know, but I find it interesting
that for centuries their were people of English descent who spent their
whole lives in aforeign land, living like royalty (or at least a lot
better than most other people) who called themselves Indians though
they were clearly Europeans. I think that this world of ambiguities
(especially assovereignty is about to be handed over in 1947) could
make for an intriguing and interesting setting for a mystery (not to
mention that it is exotic and far away, bothgeographically and chronologically).
