About this listen

With her daughter accused of murder, Kausar Khan goes from meddlesome aunty to Detective Aunty . . .
'I am such a fan' Emily Henry
'I'll read anything Uzma Jalaluddin writes' Kate Quinn
_________

When her daughter Sana is accused of murdering the unpopular landlord of her clothing boutique, Kausar Khan returns to Toronto for the first time in twenty years.

Back in the Golden Crescent suburb she once called home, Kausar finds that the thriving neighbourhood she remembered has changed. The murder of Sana's unpopular landlord is only the latest in a wave of local crimes which have gone unsolved.

With a keen sense of observation and a deep wisdom honed by her years, Kausar knows there is more to the story than Sana lets on. With the help of some old friends and her teenage granddaughter, Kausar digs deeper into the case to uncover the truth. Because who better to pry answers from unwilling suspects than a harmless, meddlesome aunty?

But even Kausar can't predict the secrets, lies and betrayals she finds along the way...

A detective story full of twists and turns and of course lots of cups of chai❤️

What a delight! I have read/listened to all of Uzma’s published books and like the others this doesn’t disappoint. The fact the protagonist is a South East Asian widow in her late 50’s makes this book even more of a gem as normally those belonging to this cohort are typically put out to pasture. The light held to themes like this and those relating to the traditional roles of women and men, particularly those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds really shines brightly in this book. It explores these ideas and those relating to loss, grief and family. And as with all of Uzma’s books, it’s done with a dash of romance, all while trying to solve a murder.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
