About the Book

'I loved it!' Robert Thorogood, The Marlow Murder Club 'Takes us to the colour and crowds of modern Delhi, in pursuit of a killer. A charming start to a vibrant new mystery series' Vaseem Khan When semi-retired Irish nun Sister Agatha Murphy meets Avtar Mehta round the back of his historic Delhi hotel, they form an instant bond over a sneaky smoke and good gossip. Then a street robbery outside the hotel, a dead body inside it, and the disappearance of a pilgrim guest bring the local police to the hotel, determined to close their cases quickly, and with them the Delhi Haveli Hotel. Sister Agatha and Avtar must race to stay one step ahead of the police, the Indian secret service and a hidden killer - as well as keeping their sense of humour through a terrorism scare in the run up to Christmas on the colourful streets of old Delhi.

About the Author :
Paul fell in love with India when he fell in love with his wife. He's from Belfast. She's from Delhi. He'd already set his first book, a thriller called Blackwatertown, in Ireland, so she suggested he set his next one in India because they're there so much. Paul has been a night club cook in New York, he made Pelé his dinner, smuggled a satellite dish into Cuba, was an award-winning BBC journalist, co-hosts the We'd Like A Word books and authors podcast, and is co-organiser of the Chiltern Kills crime festival and the Khushwant Singh LitFest London.

Review :
‘Takes us to the colour and crowds of modern Delhi, in pursuit of a killer. A charming start to a vibrant new mystery series’ Vaseem Khan, author of the Q and Malabar House series ‘Never cross a nun! Offbeat detecting duo Sister Agatha from Ireland and Avtar from India bring a fresh twist to cosy crime amidst the glamour and grime of deadly Delhi. I loved it!’ Robert Thorogood, creator of the Death in Paradise and Marlow Murder Club series ‘A pacy, charming thriller that mixes the romance of old Delhi with the energy of the modern megacity it has become. Can’t wait for the next one.’ Amish Tripathi, broadcaster and author of the The Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra Series 'Rich, layered and multi-faceted, this is Paul Waters at his best. Murder in Moonlit Square has everything you could hope for in cosy crime: unforgettable characters, a compelling mystery and a wicked sense of humour. Waters has established himself a masterful voice in crime fiction.’ Awais Khan, author of No Honour and Someone Like Her ‘This colourful novel takes us through the streets and back alleys of Delhi where we can almost smell the spices and baking tandooris off the page. This is vivid and empathetic storytelling by a writer who can intrigue us with a mystery and knows India well enough to take us there and show us around’ Malachi O’Doherty 'Their methods are eccentric but clever and their relationship is a delight, but it is Waters's exploration of ideas about home and exile that makes the novel more than just an entertaining diversion' Natasha Cooper in the Literary Review
