THIS IS THE EXACT SAME AUTHOR/STORY AS HER OTHER BOOK "WIDOWS OF MALABAR HILL". Both were released in 2018 from different publishers with different titles, exact same story. I highly recommend either one of these if you haven't read her books. Just be warned, don't buy both! Review: A beautiful Vintage Mystery with an Admirable Heroine! <3 - (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of the book for For The Love of Fictional Worlds) This was a intense and delightful vintage mystery novel – I use the word “vintage” purposefully for the author Sujata Massey does a freaking ah-mazing job of working her reader’s imagination of a time in our country’s past that tends to be intense and interesting for history buffs, like moi! Perveen Mistry is the only female practicing lawyer in 1921 Bombay – she can’t argue cases yet in the open court but definitely does her best work as a solicitor for her father’s practice. The book at its heart is a murder mystery; but that’s not all that it is! It is a slow yet informative plot that not only hooks the reader without them knowing about it, but it also a\does a very well introduction to the focus of the story – Perveen Mistry. Perveen Mistry honestly is DA BOMB! She is a dazzling heroine and it is difficult not to commiserate with the kind of environment she is faced with, all the while feeling that nothing much has changed, even in the 21st century! She is intelligent, feisty and gutsy yet compassionate and graceful. I couldn’t help but fall in love with her tenacity to blow through the road blocks that the society ended up oh so graciously providing her! As a reader, You go into book expecting to love or fall into the character’s lives just so you can escape your own for a while, and that’s exactly what happens when you open this book – and the credit for this only goes to Ms. Massey for her unpretentious yet effective writing style. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,140,505 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (971) | | Dimensions | 7.87 x 5.51 x 1.57 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0143428233 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0143428237 | | Item Weight | 11.3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 440 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2018 | | Publisher | Penguin Random House | ## Images ![A Murder on Malabar Hill - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91OUevdemBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TWO BOOKS; DIFFERENT TITLES, SAME AUTHOR AND STORY. *by J***Z on May 28, 2018* DON'T BE FOOLED AS I WAS !!

Read this book *by K***R on March 26, 2023* I honestly thought the author was married to a Parsi. Being one myself I wondered how she'd managed to capture the flavour of Parsis so accurately. After finishing the book I learnt about the amazing research Sujata Massey had carried out on the community. What the first lady lawyer had to go through in the 1920s was pretty devastating. Enjoyed the breadth of the story immensely - Perveen's relationships with her parents, her lover, his parents, her friend, those three widows and their kids was woven into a rich tapestry. Having lived in Bombay in my youth, the familiar setting was an added bonus. The only flaw, to me, was the depiction of danger to the heroine and other characters in the story. It got resolved far too quickly. That didn't prevent me from enjoying Murder At Malabar Hill. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/111659900-a-murder-on-malabar-hill](https://www.desertcart.in/products/111659900-a-murder-on-malabar-hill) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
