In Detective Aunty we follow Kausar Kaur, who must return to Toronto to help her daughter when she is accused of a murder. It's up to Kausar to get to the bottom of this mystery and clear her daughters name. The mystery kept me hooked from start to finish, with just the right balance of tension and playfulness. Every character felt fully realized from the clever and determined lead to the richly drawn supporting cast. What really made this book special to me was how relatable and authentic the family dynamics felt. As a South Asian reader, I saw so many cultural nuances and moments that mirrored my own experiences. There are just some things that we don't talk about in South Asian families, but I liked that Kausar had to dig deep into these issues in order to solve the mystery. I also really like that she used the cover of being a nosy aunty in order to find things out and get away with things other people couldn't. I absolutely loved this book and flew through it in one sitting.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins Canada for this e-ARC that I chose to read and review
