The latest novel in the acclaimed Bangalore Detectives Club series finds amateur sleuth Kaveri Murthy uncovering a new murder during the blood moon eclipse.

When new bride Kaveri Murthy reluctantly agrees to investigate a minor crime to please her domineering mother-in-law—during the blood moon eclipse, no less—she doesn't expect, once again, to stumble upon a murder.

With anti-British sentiment on the rise, a charismatic religious leader growing in influence, and the fight for women's suffrage gaining steam, Bangalore is turning out to be a far more dangerous and treacherous place than Kaveri ever imagined—and everyone's motives are suspect.

Together with the Bangalore Detectives Club—a mixed bag of street urchins, nosy neighbors, an ex-prostitute, and a policeman's wife—Kaveri once again sleuths in her sari and hunts for clues in her beloved 1920s Ford.

But when her life is suddenly put in danger, Kaveri realizes that she might be getting uncomfortably close to the truth. So she must now draw on her wits and find the killer . . . before they find her.

The narrator has no idea how to pronounce South Indian names and terms—the story is so interesting but the narrator’s inept pronunciation distracts and annoys. Had to stop a couple of times as it was irritating

Excellent book—poor narrator

Such a vibrant tale that includes so much social discourse throughout to keep you engaged in myriad aspects of each character and their choices. I purchased book 1 and immediately went to book 2. I’m only sad to wait for another. A wonderful and educational twist on Sherlock Holmes.

This is the second mystery in the Bangalore Detectives Club series.

I read the third book, and was so fascinated by it, that I read the first mystery, which explained many details that had happened in the third mystery. I think it would be best to read/listen to all 3 books in correct sequence, however, each book can be read as standalone.

The book is most brilliantly written, and the narrator is superb. This really is an outstanding and entertaining series to read, and it will remain in my memory, evoking scenes of intriguing, colorful and charming India. I now feel like I have just returned from another trip to Bangalore, even though the mysteries take place in the mid 1910s'.

The characters are vividly described, and all actions are believable and almost real. The plot is twisted, and all the problems were resolved at the end.

I most highly recommend this series to all mystery lovers who also like to immerse themselves in another culture and in another era.

Brilliant, simply brilliant work by such an accomplished author!

Absolutely Delightful Second Mystery in The Series
