“Two things drew me to Maya, Dead and Dreaming by Lana Sabarwal: (1) its cover and (2) the mention of Agatha Christie and Jhumpa Lahiri in the description. After reading the synopsis (a mysterious note, a haunting, and a small community being the highlights), picking up this book was easy.”

“I found this to be a very enjoyable read and definitely gave off an old school murder mystery vibe. I also like that it touched on the fact that Munna was a minority in town and that she never thought her opinions about anything mattered, much less those about a possible murder. It in a way is a story of not only finding justice but finding herself in her own unique way at the same time.” “This book has a compelling mystery but also a certain cozy charm with the small-town setting. I really enjoyed Munna as our narrator; her voice immediately came alive for me on the page and I felt invested in what would happen to her.

“A haunting labyrinth where grief and dreams blur into a psychological masterpiece.”
