520 The first in a charming, joyful cozy crime series set in
1920s Bangalore, featuring sari-wearing detective Kaveri
and her husband, Ramu. Perfect for fans of Alexander
McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. When
clever, headstrong Kaveri moves to Bangalore to marry
handsome young doctor Ramu, she's resigned herself to a
quiet life. But that all changes the night of the party
at the Century Club, where she escapes to the garden for
some peace and quiet-and instead spots an uninvited guest
in the shadows. Half an hour later, the party turns into a
murder scene. When a vulnerable woman is connected to the
crime, Kaveri becomes determined to save her and launches
a private investigation to find the killer, tracing his
steps from an illustrious brothel to an Englishman's
mansion. She soon finds that sleuthing in a sari isn't as
hard as it seems when you have a talent for mathematics, a
head for logic, and a doctor for a husband ... And she's
going to need them all as the case leads her deeper into a
hotbed of danger, sedition, and intrigue in Bangalore's
darkest alleyways. "An effervescent new mystery...is a
treat for historical mystery lovers." "With an engaging
South Indian accent and lively characterizations, Golden
Voice narrator Soneela Nankani paints a vibrant listening
experience...[and] increases listeners' appreciation.
Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." "The story is
rich with the sights, sounds, tastes, and politics of
southern India in the 1920s...The heavier themes are
balanced by the sweetness of the relationship between
Kaveri and her husband." "Armchair travel to 1920s
Bangalore, where newly married Kaveri...investigat[es] the
case herself using her logical brain, talent for
mathematics, and the medical expertise of her husband."
"[Set] in the multilayered and multicultural milieu of
colonial India, Nagendra...imbues this mystery with a rich,
edifying, and authentic feel." "Nagendra's evocation of
setting is riveting, and her use of colonial history is
thoroughly fascinating, with devastating depictions of the
airy condescension of the British." "A classic whodunnit
with the added appeal of a female sleuth in colonial
India. For the Western reader, a fascinating glimpse into
customs and a mindset very different from our own."
