I recently finished reading this cozy murder mystery A Matrimonial Murder. I hadn't read the first book of the Temple Hill Mystery series so I was a little apprehensive of whether I would get the nuances and references in this book. I am glad to say that I faced no difficulties at all in enjoying this book despite that. The novel follows Radhi Zaveri, an award-winning novelist who finds herself entangled in a real-life mystery while researching for a book on arranged marriages at Soul Harmony, a prestigious matrimonial bureau run by Sarla Seth.

Sarla, known for her expertise in pairing couples, receives a series of threatening messages that escalate when one of her employees is found dead in the office. Radhi, initially there for her research, becomes deeply involved in unraveling the mystery. Her investigation is not just a journey through potential suspects but also a deep dive into the contrasting worlds of traditional and modern Indian society.

I enjoyed the cultured depiction of Mumbai, bringing the bustling city and its unique various nuances to life. It was also immense fun getting to know how a matrimonial agency operates. However, while the setting and characters are well-crafted, the mystery element could definitely have been a bit more complex and a little more fast-paced.

Nevertheless, It is wonderful to see how immensely the Indian murder mystery genre is growing. I cannot wait to read the first book in the Temple Hill series, The Death of Keerti Kadakia. For those of you who enjoy cozy mysteries, give this series a try for sure.1 Alisha397 161
