    If you enjoyed Sujata Massey's Widows of Malabar Hills, you'll love Roopa's new whodunit!

    In the gripping narrative of the Jasmine Murders, readers are introduced to the formidable husband-wife detective team of Jayan, a police chief struggling to maintain order in a lawless town, and Uma, whose sharp intuition is crucial when a severed head—jasmine still woven into its braid—unexpectedly appears at their home. As crime escalates, they strive to restore peace in a community rife with communal tension and the shadows of a corrupt predecessor. With a historic cyclone threatening Manamadurai, Uma must cleverly navigate a covert network of local gossip to assist her husband in unraveling a web of hidden secrets and simmering violence.

    REVIEW: THE HINDUSTAN TIMES

    Roopa Unnikrishnan's The Jasmine Murders is more than a whodunnit set in a quiet town with many secrets

    "The Arjuna Awardee athlete turns fiction writer as she presents a layered, unputdownable mystery thriller. Here's more about this period novel set in Tamil Nadu....

    The book The Jasmine Murders wastes no time, as it opens with a chilling line: "That’s a head he’s carrying." Right from here, the novel sheds any veil of restraint, signalling that beneath the stillness of this little hamlet lies a history soaked in blood, silence and complicity....

    While the book may present itself as a crime novel flirting with the whoddunit genre, its ambitions are broader. Beneath the investigation runs a layered feminist subtext that examines the power of the patriarchy and the sinister violence that still inflicts upon women in a society that normalises or even reinforces silence...."

    About The Raconteur

After years spent guiding global companies through high-stakes strategy and innovation challenges, she now channels that same curiosity into creative writing, crafting intriguing whodunits.

Roopa lives in New York City with her professor husband, their beagle Tara, and an ever-growing stash of notebooks filled with clues, red herrings, and suspicious characters.
