What I’m Reading: MJ Soni’s THE MASALA CHAI MYSTERY CLUB
A fun debut cozy mystery with colorful characters and chai tea!
Homeowner associations can be treacherous. When Rohit, the brash bully who runs Neeti Shah’s condo association is found dead at the bottom of his stairs most of the neighbors can barely conceal their relief, but Neeti, a retired librarian with a secret connection to Rohit, is convinced it’s no accident.
With lots of suspects, Neeti first must convince her friends to help her investigate (and consume lots of chai tea and snacks in the process.) Soni crafts a thoroughly enjoyable mystery with colorful characters, mouthwatering snacks amazing and a a satisfying conclusion.
THE MASALA CHAI MYSTERY CLUB is out July 21, 2026.
