HELP! My super-dramatic Aunty Bindi is getting married tomorrow and she’s having a mega meltdown.
But sssh! I’ve just found a ransom note, pushed through the letter box, saying Uncle Tony, Bindi’s husband-to-be, has been kidnapped, and will only be freed if the wedding is cancelled!
I have to keep this a secret otherwise it’ll be panic-central…
I guess it’s up to me – Anisha, ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE, to save the day.

I really enjoyed this book and felt Serena Patel captures Anisha's Indian culture perfectly. I think it is an easy read and relatable. It is definitely a brilliant book for a lazy weekend. I definitely recommend.

My favourite character was Anisha because she was good at fighting out things as she was a detective.My favourite part in this book was when they thought it was the grandma because she was hiding something. It turned out to be lemon tree for a competition.
