Author: Uzma Jalaluddin
Format: Paperback
Detective Aunty was named a BEST FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR by The Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, The Globe and Mail and the Chicago Public Library:
From the internationally bestselling and acclaimed author of Ayesha at Last comes the tale of a vigil-aunty on a mission.
With her daughter accused of murder, Kausar Khan goes from meddlesome aunty to Detective Aunty . . .
When her daughter Sana is accused of murdering the unpopular landlord of her clothing boutique, Kausar Khan returns to Toronto for the first time in twenty years.
Back in the Golden Crescent suburb she once called home, Kausar finds that the thriving neighbourhood she remembered has changed. The murder of Sana’s unpopular landlord is only the latest in a wave of local crimes which have gone unsolved.
With a keen sense of observation and a deep wisdom honed by her years, Kausar knows there is more to the story than Sana lets on. With the help of some old friends and her teenage granddaughter, Kausar digs deeper into the case to uncover the truth. Because who better to pry answers from unwilling suspects than a harmless, meddlesome aunty?
But even Kausar can’t predict the secrets, lies and betrayals she finds along the way…
