A MUMBAI MURDER MYSTERY by Meeti Shroff-Shah- crime

This is a wonderfully described read set in India with lots of references

to food-I  might just need the recipes- they sound delicious! Radhi is an

author and has come home as she is suffering writer's block. Her best

friend is expecting and her father is then found dead. The police think

it is suicide as he took several tablets but something about the scene

doesnt appear quite right to Radhi and she takes it on herself as an

outsider to try and find out more about what happened that day.

The more she tries to find out the more questions she finds she

needs to get answers to.

This is a cozy type murder as it revolves around a few families.

There are some “ familiar” terms (of endearment) in the asian

culture which some may not be familiar with but these are soon

learnt with the aid of a kindle. This is a debut novel and is

incredibly well written. There is a good plot and although

familiar with some asain traditions/culture/food I learnt a

little along the way which I enjoy- everyday is a school day!

A thoroughly enjoyable well written debut read.
