When her mentor and lover is brutally murdered, Theo wants the killer to be found and justice to be served. When the prime suspect turns out to be her older brother, Gus, Theo does what is necessary to protect him--to save him.

The Bangalore Detectives Club by Harini Nagendra (Indian)
The first in a charming, joyful crime series set in 1920s Bangalore, featuring sari-wearing detective Kaveri and her husband Ramu. When clever, headstrong Kaveri moves to Bangalore to marry handsome young doctor Ramu, she's resigned herself to a quiet life. But that all changes the night of the party at the Century Club, where she escapes to the garden for some peace and quiet—and instead spots an uninvited guest in the shadows. Half an hour later, the party turns into a murder scene. Kaveri launches a private investigation to find the killer and soon finds that sleuthing in a sari isn't as hard as it seems when you have a talent for mathematics, a head for logic, and a doctor for a husband . . .
