Just what the doctor ordered for a lazy Sunday. A deep dive into the great Indian obsession, marriage-making, the book is a sumptuous Gujarati wedding thali. 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. What's not to like? A welcome addition to the growing tribe of Indian mystery writing. -- Ratna Pathak Shah
