Miss Moorthy Investigates

Amateur sleuth untangles local Indian mysteries.

Picture yourself in a cozy Indian setting, following the quirky Miss Moorthy as she delves into local enigmas with charm and wit. It's for anyone who enjoys a dose of culture with their mystery, a mix that's as delightful as a warm cup of chai on a rainy day. Miss Moorthy's investigations offer a gentle, humorous plunge into village life that's both intriguing and heartwarming.

Description

Safe, straitlaced 1970s Singapore is terrorised by The Strangler, a bizarre killer who targets single, successful career women and removes the hands of his victims. Despite the rumours doing the rounds, young Miss Moorthy feels safe as a secondary school teacher. That is, until her colleague, Evelyn Ngui, is murdered, and her freespirited flatmate, Connie, encounters the murderer in their house. Now sensible Miss Moorthy has no choice. She must investigate. Will she pin down the motivations of The Strangler? Will she understand his association with the nave Evelyn Ngui? Most importantly, will she come out alive, as she stumbles upon forgotten secrets? Find out, as Miss Moorthy handles school students, anxious parents, a stuffed blue rabbit, and possibly, more than one killer, with aplomb.
