Sonia Samarth of the Stellar Investigations Detective
Agency in Pune, India, uses a combination of general and
unorthodox methods to solve crimes. Not only does she have
a keen sense of observation, she also uses knowledge from
intricate astrological charts of those involved in the
situations. As well as working on a number of intriguing
cases, Sonia has to deal with her conflicted feelings about
a handsome journalist and a fiendish jewel thief.
Almost anthological in form with a strong major plotline,
THE ASTRAL ALIBI is a joy to read because of the detailed
characters and beautiful flavor of India.
If you like your crime in a foreign clime, join Sonia
Samarth and her Stellar Investigations Detective Agency as
she confronts a rash of baffling misdeeds plaguing the
city of Pune, India-and solving them as only she can, with
a unique combination of traditional Indian wisdom, modern-
day detection, and ancient astrology. Complete with
authentic horoscopes...
After a slow start to the New Year, Sonia's crime-solving
services are in high demand. There's the bride whose
arranged marriage may include murderous in-laws, the
theatrical team whose death scene was no act, and the
deceptively happy couple whose stars foretell domestic
danger. Good thing Sonia has her opinionated assistant,
Jatin, to help - except that even he may be caught up in
the unlawful fray. Fortunately, it takes more than a few
misguided souls - not to mention a preposterous proposal
from the world's most notorious diamond thief - to rattle
this yoga-practicing, astrologically inspired sleuth.
