2025 book 103

 Uzma Jalaluddin’s Detective Aunty

Ok, this was a GREAT mystery. It centers on a fifty-something Muslim widow in a small town in Canada, who rushes to Toronto when her daughter is accused of murder! But she hasn’t returned to Toronto since her youngest son died and she fell into a deep depression. But soon enough she is using her skills to suss out what really happened to prove her daughter’s innocence, and figure out all the secrets her family has been keeping. I loved her relationships with her family and friends and the community in general (especially her granddaughters), and the mystery itself was pretty solid. Really satisfying read, I hope there will be more! A.
