Abir Mukherjee: The Pinnacle, Vintage, pub date: June 2026, ebook available

I am a big fan of Mukherjee's historical Wyndham & Banerjee mysteries but his upcoming stand alone mystery " The Pinnacle" won me over quickly with his tongue in cheek humour, excellent characters and tight plot. I read the proof, if you are in the mood for an action packed mystery set in current India, I can highly recommend The Pinnacle: 

Set in Mumbai, the secure luxury high rise The Pinnacle is home to a famous and rich clientel who want their peace and secrets hidden. George Abercombie, aging famous actor who has seen more successful days, and his Bollywood star wife Sweety Salota, with their assistants, maids and chauffeur also call The Pinnacle their home. When George wakes up on the couch after a drunken night to find his wife murdered in their bedroom, all hell breaks loose and this very entertaining mystery is set in motion.
