Praise for VANISHED “Mystery! Intercontinental intrigue! Curses! Music! Cocoa! Vanished has all that and a bag of chips. Several bags of chips, actually. Just read it!”
“Chari, in her debut novel, strikes the right note with this engaging, intricate story that spans generations and two countries.”
“Well written, [VANISHED] covers a lot of ground and gives Indian readers a glimpse of life in America.”
“Featuring Indian foods, clothing, and customs, this debut novel...has a spunky heroine … and offers themes of family and honesty in a refreshing light mystery.”
“An enthralling mystery” |
