I know very little of Indian culture so pretty new for me this. Set in 1920's Bangalore. The MC, Kaveri is 19 years old and just off to live with her husband in another city, their parents have arranged the marriage. Lucky for her he's a pretty modern man and doesn't mind her studying math. At a dinner party at some fancy club with English people a man is murder and Kaveri who loves murder mystery books gets sleuthing...
It's another meh for me. Kaveri and hubby never runs into any issues and wraps up the mystery with a nice little bow at the end. No challenges, no conflicts. For example, Kaveri's husband is a modern man but his mother is not, this could be used to add conflict, have MIL causing issues for Kaveri but no. I can't recall a moment in this book when Kaveri had to use her head to get out of problem.
