The Reluctant Detective Paperback – January 5, 2012 by Kiran Manral (Author)

Kay, aka Kanan Mehra, is a thirty-something suburban housewife, and young mother with a penchant for sticking her curious nose into things she definitely, absolutely and certainly shouldn t go near. When a couple of corpses turn up in quick succession in her neighbourhood, she teams up with her detective friend, Runa, in a half-hearted attempt to find the murderers, only to suspect that perhaps the detective business doesn t quite become her. A hilarious account of how not to get involved in other people s murders, The Reluctant Detective is every school-gate mom, searching for a purpose to her life beyond kitty lunches, shopping and fish pedicures.
