A captivating historical mystery by Harini Nagendra and the second novel in the Bangalore Detectives Club series. Set in 1920s Bangalore during the British Raj, the story follows amateur sleuth Kaveri Murthy, who reluctantly agrees to investigate a seemingly minor theft during a rare blood moon eclipse. Instead, she stumbles upon a shocking murder that draws her into a dangerous web of secrets and deception.

As anti-British sentiment grows, a charismatic religious leader gains influence, and the movement for women's suffrage gathers momentum, Kaveri finds herself navigating a city filled with political unrest and hidden motives. With the help of the eccentric Bangalore Detectives Club—a colorful group of friends and allies—she follows a trail of clues while racing to identify the killer before becoming the next victim.

Rich in historical detail, the novel blends a classic whodunit with themes of women's empowerment, colonial India, and social change. Atmospheric, engaging, and full of clever twists, Murder Under a Red Moon is an excellent choice for fans of historical mysteries.
