Only Murderers in the Building: Crime Fiction

Only Murderers in the Building: Crime Fiction

Conversation between four "Crime Novelists" at Bangalore Literary Fest, 2023:


You can hear me mumble, stutter and blabber uncontrollably about my latest novel "Death on Diagonal Lane" at 5:17, 7:34, 18:40 and 26:38. 😀 Do watch it... it's a great deal of unintentional comedy, if nothing else 😊

Diagonal Days: The comic strip based on the character of the Diagonal Lane novels

This week, I introduce a prominent Diagonal Lane character who has not yet put in an appearance in the comic strip, although she features frequently in the novels. Mrs. Madhurai Mone is a retired Bollywood playback singer who runs a music school on Diagonal Lane. Her husband, Damodar Mone, fancies himself as a detective. They run a detective agency cum music school from their flat in Wormwood Grove Apartments in Diagonal Lane. Damodar the Detective has already featured thrice in this comic strip. This is the first time that his redoubtable wife puts in an appearance.
