'A Matrimonial Murder is one of the funniest, heartfelt mysteries of the year. Meeti Shroff-Shah's gift for social satire mixed with humor and suspense makes Radhi's investigation of elite matchmaking in Mumbai an utter delight.' Sujata Massey, author of The Mistress of Bhatia House

'Just what the doctor ordered for a lazy Sunday. [. . .] All the flavours are served up - the base note of old relationships, the tanginess of sharp characterisation, the bitter-sweetness of romance, and the mirchi of murder. A welcome addition to the growing tribe of Indian mystery writing.' Ratna Pathak Shah, acclaimed Indian actress and director.
