This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Butterfly is back with her signature wingbeat. The world may have moved at a rattling pace since her last outing but the lifestyles of Lahore's literati, Dubai's glitterati and London's desi flutterati have more than kept pace. Earth-shattering events like wars, climate change, and the pandemic have nothing on the treachery of the maalish waali, Megan Markle's tiara and the mechanics of 'sad make-up'. Spanning eight rollicking years from 2014 to 2021, Butterfly's frank, funny diaries tell us how it is in the private lives of the haves and the have-mores. Scandalously colourful and uniquely desi, the latest installment of the Butterfly series is delish.

Inspector Ganesh Ghote of the Bombay CID stands alongside Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes as one of the best-loved of fictional detectives.

This collection of short stories brings together some of the best of Ghote's shorter adventures. From 'The All-Bat Hat' to 'Murder Mustn't At All Advertise, Isn't It?', these stories celebrate Ghote and his painstaking investigative powers. Plus, an introduction by H. R. F. Keating himself gives a fascinating insight into the creation of the good detective, and how his life as a policewalla changed and evolved over the years to reflect real-life police work in the contemporary Bombay of the past.
