The Bombay Prince is the third delightful installment of Sujata Massey’s mystery series set in 1920s India. Heroine Perveen is much more than a sari-clad Miss Marple: she’s Bombay’s first female lawyer as well as a keenly intelligent sleuth, a trail-blazing woman balancing the weight of family tradition with her own dreams. Perveen’s investigation into the mysterious death of a young university student coincides with the imperial visit of the future Edward VIII, and the resulting trail of breadcrumbs through royal receptions, street riots, squalid jails, and lavish hotels makes for a deliciously satisfying read!” — ―Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code

“Perveen Mistry has all the pluck you want in a sleuthing lawyer, as well as a not-so-surprising-but decidedly welcome-proclivity for poking her nose into the business of others. The pages do indeed fly.” — ―The Globe and Mail

“Fantastic.” — ―The Christian Science Monitor

“Once again Massey does a superb job of combining a fascinating snapshot into 1920s British-ruled India with a top-notch mystery. She has created a strong, appealing heroine who is forging her own path in a rapidly changing world.” — ―Library Journal, Starred Review

Description

About the Author

Sujata Massey was born in England to parents from India and Germany, was raised mostly in St. Paul, Minnesota, and lives in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a features reporter for the Baltimore Evening Sun before becoming a full-time novelist.

My name is Sujata Massey, and I’m so happy you’re visiting my author page. I was born in England to a father from India and a mother from Germany. We emigrated to the United States when I was five, and some of the places we lived in my childhood were Pennsylvania, California, and Minnesota. I earned a BA from the Writing Seminars department at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, a wonderful city where I worked for five years as a newspaper reporter. Although I’ve made some excursions away from Baltimore–two years in Hayama, Japan, and six years in Minneapolis, MN–I’ve spent most of my life in Baltimore, and currently live in a rambling Victorian there with my family.
