Description:

The Bangalore Detectives Club by Harini Nagendra transports readers to the vibrant, colonial city of Bangalore in 1921. Meet Kaveri Murthy — a sharp-minded, mathematics-loving nineteen-year-old who has just moved in with her husband Ramu, a doctor. When a murder disrupts an otherwise unremarkable evening at a gentlemen's club, Kaveri finds herself drawn into an investigation she simply cannot resist. Armed with razor-sharp logic, a fascination with forensic science, and the quiet support of her husband, she navigates a city alive with intrigue, injustice, and hidden secrets. A charming blend of cosy mystery and historical fiction, this New York Times Notable Book captures the sights, flavours, and social tensions of Raj-era India — and introduces one of fiction's most delightful amateur sleuths.
