At Samsara, he can relax and enjoy the hotel's various health and wellness treatments, as well as a sparkling dose of mysticism.
Until one of the guests is found dead. As everyone scrambles to figure out what happened, Ro is pulled into an investigation that endangers them all. Because it turns out that it's not just heiresses and Bollywood stars who have checked in - there's a murderer in their midst . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Attorney Murali debuts with a clever closed-circle whodunit about a disgruntled lawyer's vacation from hell. Ro Krishna has left his job at a London tech firm after a disagreement with his racist boss over the design of a company-funded cultural center in Prague. After Ro complained to higher-ups about the incident, he received a lucrative settlement. He takes his money and decamps for Samsara, a Himalayan spa where the Beatles studied meditation. There, he meets an eclectic group of fellow guests, including a film star, his CIA-connected wife, a bumbling meditation instructor, and an Indian politician. Shortly after Ro arrives, someone is killed, and several other deaths follow. Mrs. Banerjee, the resort's owner and a family acquaintance of Ro's, asks him to investigate discreetly on account of his legal expertise. As he does so, Murali gradually reveals more of Ro's own history, which intersects with the investigation in unexpected ways. The ending, while juicy, doesn't completely satisfy, but there's enough originality and atmosphere on offer to keep readers on tenterhooks for Murali's sophomore effort. This is a nerve-jangling good time.
