After Calcutta ( The Masala Murder) and Mumbai ( Dead in a Mumbai Minute) crime buster Reema Ray is in Goa. Madhumita Bhattacharyya’s third book in the trilogy, Goa Undercover (Pan Macmillan India) sees Reema involved in a conspiracy of epic proportions, which she solves ably supported by her dishy boss Shayak and old associate Terrence. The 36-year-old Bengaluru-based author speaks of her special Goa, never saying never and the agony and ecstasy of YouTube. Excerpts.
