In the bustling heart of Chandni Chowk, where lanes glitter by day and hide shadows by night, murder has come to the Delhi Haveli Hotel.
When semi-retired Irish nun Sister Agatha Murphy meets hotelier Avtar Mehta round the back of his historic haveli hotel, they strike up an instant bond over a sneaky smoke and sharp gossip. Neither expects to become detectives but when a street robbery, a dead body, and a missing pilgrim collide, the hotel is suddenly crawling with police, the Indian secret service, and a hidden killer determined to strike again.
Sister Agatha and Avtar must race to stay one step ahead of the police, the Indian secret service and a hidden killer – as well as keeping their sense of humour through a terrorism scare in the run up to Christmas on the colourful streets of old Delhi.
Witty, atmospheric, and refreshingly original, Murder in Moonlit Square introduces a quirky new detective duo readers will not forget. A cozy crime with bite, full of humour, intrigue, and clever twists, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Vaseem Khan, Tarquin Hall, and Alexander McCall Smith.
