Publisher's summary

Detective Inspector Sara Nayar is a goddess. Literally. A Hindu goddess accidentally brought to England during Queen Victoria's reign. Working now as a police detective, Sara survives on humanity's innate faith in law and order.

Sheffield is a city of many gods, however, and when Sara witnesses a murder, she knows the perpetrator is divine. As a goddess of order, she must solve the crime before the god can kill again, but thousands of years living as a human has left her spiritually weak.

Vulnerable in ways she hasn't felt since leaving India, Sara fights to balance her mortal and immortal lives as the murders around her escalate. And with tensions amongst her fellow divinity on the rise, Sara is running out of time. If she can't restore order and find balance in the chaos, the city itself might pay the price.

Set in a vividly realized Northern city, where gods coexist with a balance of faith, Goddess of the North is a thrilling urban fantasy steeped in multicultural mythology. A murder mystery at heart, it's an exploration of identity, love, faith, and the transformative powers of self-acceptance.

Magnificent, Fun, and Intelligent!

This book is pure delight from start to finish. The premise, the plot, the magic, the food, the settings, and especially the characters (!) conspire to immerse the reader (or listener) so deeply that the real world disappears. Kamsika is a master of pacing, dialogue, and sensory detail. There's not a dull phrase in the entire book, and I couldn't stop listening. I had to invent new housecleaning chores just to have an excuse to keep the story playing!
Also, the narrator is superb. Her voicing of the characters is flawless, and her cadence and pitch make the audiobook a true auditory pleasure.
I can't recommend this book (and audiobook!) enough. Buy it, enjoy it, recommend it, gift it. The world needs more books like this.
