Crime Detective Mystery Thriller Group discussion

Hi all

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am an author and avid crime reader (the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connolly is my favourite). As an author I write a light-hearted crime series set in India, for fans of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series. The first book in my series The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is a Times Saturday bestseller, Waterstones Book Club selection and Amazon Best Debut pick. This 2015 hit introduces readers to Inspector Ashwin Chopra of the Mumbai police as he moves through the turbulent, colourful fabric of modern Indian society in search of a murderer, whilst simultaneously coming to grips with the surreal dilemma of caring for a one-year-old baby elephant that has been sent into his care. “Endearing and gripping” ~ The Sunday Times; “Colour and atmosphere flows out of every page” ~ The Daily Express; “Utterly charming” ~ The Guardian

The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra

Ive been writing all summer - busy working on the third in the series - but managing to read a lot too. Lot of domestic noir - most of which, sadly, isn't that good. But I just read the one that started it all - Gone Girl - and thought it was terrific. So definitely a recommend from me.

This sounds like the type of mystery I like. I'm adding it to my list!

Thanks Sally. It's a joy to write about India and these characters. My aim was always to take readers on this journey to the heart of modern India, particularly Mumbai, so if u do read them let me know if u think I achieved that :)
