A book-club murder mystery steeped in chai

Retired librarian Neeti Shah expects a quieter life with her chai-loving friends, until a neighbor—and childhood friend—is found dead beside a copy of Agatha Christie’s *Dumb Witness*. The crime’s resemblance to a recent book-club read gives Neeti and the Masala Chai Mystery Club a literary thread to investigate, while the victim’s history of feuding with neighbors widens the pool of possible suspects. As further deaths complicate the case, the mystery brings together friendship, a close-knit club, and the question of how well anyone can know the people around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers who enjoy cozy mysteries and amateur sleuths.
  • A good match for fans of book clubs, libraries, and mysteries with literary references.
  • For readers interested in mysteries centered on friendship and a community of suspects.

Book overview

Suspects abound when a much-despised neighbor is killed, perfect for fans of Only Murders in the Building and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.

Retired librarian Neeti Shah was hoping for a restful life with her chai-loving friends, but when the body of a neighbor, a childhood friend of Neeti's, turns up dead and the killer's MO is similar to that of Neeti's most recent book club read, things start to get out of control.

When Neeti hears a commotion at a neighbor's house, she finds Rohit's body sprawled across the bottom of the staircase with Agatha Christie's Dumb Witness nearby. Blackmailing his neighbors, threatening them with lawsuits, and calling them by nasty nicknames were only some of the hateful things that made him so disliked. But were they angry enough to kill?

Neeti is indebted to her old friend, and she's determined to find his killer. But she can't do it alone, so she enlists her mystery-loving friends, the Masala Chai Mystery Club, to get to the bottom of the murder.

But Neeti and her club members need to be careful. As more bodies turn up and more suspects start to appear, they'll need to find the killer before they end up in hot water!
