We have a short sample of Detective Auntie.

Take a listen.

That was a sample of Detective Auntie by Usma Jalaluddin, narrated by Deepti Gupta.

The full audiobook is a little over 11 hours if you're interested.

Usma, thank you so much for making time.

Welcome to Audiobook Cafe.

I want to start with Detective Vanti because it's your most recent release.

And this is a good old fashioned murder mystery a la Agatha Christie, which is interesting because before all of your books were romantic comedies.

So I'm wondering why the change?

So after your first book, your publishers and your publicists gave you the advice to continue writing rom-coms.

Did they?

recommend that to you?

Did they make it as a suggestion?

Or did they tell you?

I'm curious.

Now, Detective Auntie, can you tell us more about the book, what the plot is and what people can expect?

Now, auntie is a word that carries a lot of different meanings.

Can you unpack that?

Koser specifically as a character is hilarious because she's very nosy.

She's not super gossipy.
