"...an immensely satisfying mystery."

Bollywood P.I.
CALIFORNIA DREAMING
An idealistic daydreamer and a little group of misfits stumble upon a bizarre crime operation...and find themselves on the run for their lives.
​
If I’d known what I was getting into, maybe I could have given it a miss and done something a little safer. Like clean out old dynamite casings. Or vacuum Uncle Dipak’s Walking Dead yo yos.
​
As it stands, my only excitement till now is a daily dose of Bollywood P.I. (starring a senior citizen), and dodging my mother’s matchmaking attempts (“no” and “wtf” don't seem to work).
​
When my cousin vanishes (my fault), I ask a few too many questions and get the old heave-ho from the cops. So I strike out on my own, armed with a wonky firearm and a dodgy P.I. certificate.
​
Only, before I know it, I'm not on my own anymore...my peeps are along for the ride. Along with a dangerous cop, whose motives are as questionable as his activities.
​
Thanks to some incompetent digging, we stumble upon a horrendous plot intended to take down the world as we know it.
​
Time is running out and there is no turning back.
And now?
​
Now, we have one night left before D-day.

PRAISE
Priya Khajuria’s deftly written Bollywood P.I. has absolutely everything: it’s funny, it’s smart, it’s exciting—and it’s unlike anything else I’ve ever read, in the best possible way.
With Jita, Khajuria has created a sassy, street smart character who also has a beautiful heart, and some seriously good one-liners.
You will not want this book to end. When it does, you’ll want to read it again. If you love Bollywood, you’ll love this book. If you love great books, you’ll love this book. If you love to laugh, you’ll love this book. There are so many reasons to love this book!

Bollywood P.I. was one of the most enjoyable mysteries I've read in a long time (and I read a lot of mysteries). The characters are hip, the dialog is fun, there's a lot of action, a good plot, and a sweet resolution. What more can you ask for in a mystery? I enjoyed every page and look forward to more from Priya Khajuria.

"An addicting mix of mystery, action, and laugh-out-loud humor with a dash of romance set against the backdrop of the dreamy Santa Barbara Coast. A must-read for fans of sassy female heroines like Stephanie Plum and Izzy Spellman--Jita Patel will be your new favorite P.I."
