A spicy murder mystery. Loved it!
Fast-paced and quirky characters; really enjoyed this one!
I love Radhi’s world of Temple Hill, the character and her unique way of seeing things. These mysteries are tightly written and delightfully satisfying.
Perfect little cosy murder mystery
I totally loved this book! I had read the first book also and was so happy to find so many characters from the first book here also. Could see their development and stories progressing, along with fresh insights into new characters. The author does suspense really well. Cannot wait to read #3.
‘Cant wait for Radhis next adventure’ is the first thought that came when i finished this one…
Temple Hill is both familiar and filled with intrigue after #thedeathofkritikadakia – so characters and locales are known but one is always hungry to know more…
The style is akin to sitting with a bestie and getting all the delish goss.
Of course we all play dectective and start connecting the dots with Radhi but each twist keeps the momentum going…
Fabulous read!
Unputdownable! That’s it 🙂
The most funniest and enjoyable read!
Thrilling and gripping story.
Phenomenal!
