The Cosmic Clues

Summary: one of a kind crime solver
Review: In Pune, India, the owner and chief investigator of Stellar Investigations Sonia Someth has a unique way of handling her client's problems; a master of Verdic Astrology, Sonia applies horoscope readings of her customers and others involved in her cases to supplement the more common investigative techniques. No one takes Sonia seriously until she ferrets out a killer and prevents homicides from taking place. The police respect her skills and call her for help.

Freelance TV journalist Mohnish, who also owns a garage, a photo studio, and a flower shop, learns of Sonia's abilities. He is a mysterious figure who appears and disappears from her life without explanation. Sonia believes he is her secret admirer who keeps sending her bouquets until she realizes a legendary jewel thief has taken a special interest in her, a person who was a client she thought quite attractive.

THE COSMIC CLUES is a one of a kind novel that readers will find charmingly original. The use of the Hindu horoscope as a tool to aid in solving crimes comes across as reasonable and plausible. The heroine grows in stature with each case she solves so by the end of the book readers will accept her as a first class private investigator. Her relationship with Mohnish develops into a friendship that hints at future romance as well as the Cat fixated on Sonia showing up in subsequent tales. Though a table setter story line, this is still a fine refreshing novel.

Summary: A Fascinating Mystery after a long time!
Review: THE COSMIC CLUES is a really unique combination of brain-racking mysteries and plots, well-developed characters, humour and a fantastic setting! Not to miss the dash of romance underlying the whole book, neatly tied together with a cat and 'The Owl'! A must-read for all, not only "mystery mongers" but readers of all kinds. I look forward to reading next books in the Cosmic Series.
