Murders, They Write
Do you like curling up with a good mystery novel?

In recent times, India has seen the rise of a number of mystery or crime fiction writers, including Madhumita Bhattacharya, Madhulika Liddle, Manjiri Prabhu, and Kalpana Swaminathan. Many first- and second-generation Indian-American women—such as Swati Kaushal, Bharti Kirchner, Sujata Massey, Gigi Pandian, and Radha Vatsal—have also carved out their criminal worlds.

Sanjay Kumar, Abir Mukherjee, Ashwin Sanghi, and Ravi Subramanian. Read more »
