India had become more important in my life. What prompted you to select India for your new series? Your Rei Shimura series set in Japan was quite successful. Note: Sujata has offered a signed copy of The Bombay Prince to be awarded to one of the readers leaving a comment below within the next seventy-two hours. It was a privilege to be able to talk to Sujata about her main character Perveen Mistry and the third book in her series, The Bombay Prince. The second book in the series, The Satapur Moonstone, went on to win additional honors. It was also selected for Publisher’s Weekly Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2018 and was an Amazon Best Book of 2018. That sense was confirmed when it went on to win the Mary Higgins Clark Award, the Agatha Award for Best Historical Novel, Left Coast Crime’s Bruce Alexander Memorial Award for Best Historical Mystery, and the Macavity’s Sue Feder Memorial Award for Best Historical Mystery. I had the good fortune to read an advance copy of the first book in the series, The Widows of Malabar Hill, and I knew immediately that it was special. As a long-time fan of Sujata Massey’s Rei Shimura mystery series, I was thrilled to learn that she was coming out with a new series-this one set in India.
