'A Matrimonial Murder is one of the funniest, heartfelt mysteries of the year. Meeti Shroff-Shah's gift for social satire mixed with humor and suspense makes Radhi's investigation of elite matchmaking in Mumbai an utter delight.' Sujata Massey, author of The Mistress of Bhatia House
'Just what the doctor ordered for a lazy Sunday. [. . .] All the flavours are served up - the base note of old relationships, the tanginess of sharp characterisation, the bitter-sweetness of romance, and the mirchi of murder. A welcome addition to the growing tribe of Indian mystery writing.' Ratna Pathak Shah, acclaimed Indian actress and director.
Some people will kill for the perfect match.
Radhi has a new crime to solve. The body of the assistant at Temple Hill's top matchmaker is found sprawled next to a heavy bronze statue of the Nataraja - the god of dance. But was she the intended victim or was it her boss, Sarla? Sarla reckons she's seen it all. Blissful unions, marriages of convenience, Mr and Mrs Good Enough. Not to mention the bitter unfortunates who never made it down the aisle. Jealous rivals. Jilted lovers. Jaded rejects. Who among them is angry enough to commit murder?
In the marriage game, everyone has their secrets. And Radhi quickly learns some are more deadly than others.
Fans of Faith Martin, Richard Osman, Victoria Dowd, Vaseem Khan, Ian Moore, Louise Penny, Shamini Flint and Agatha Christie will devour this brilliant, atmospheric murder mystery.
THE SLEUTHWriter and traveller Radhi returns home to Mumbai's posh Temple Hill after spending years living in New York City, in search of inspiration and a salve for her broken heart. To the world it seems that she has it all. But little do they know that she hasn't written a word in more than a year, that she is devastated at the sudden disappearance of her American lover and that she is still haunted by her parents' death, which happened almost two decades ago and for which, she holds herself responsible. THE SETTINGThe series is situated in fictitious Temple Hill, a quiet and privileged neighbourhood in Mumbai, located by the Arabian Sea.
