“I have never laughed so hard. Genius! Highly recommended!” – Ausma Zehanat Khan, Author of The Bloodprint

"What I love is how Deen manages to make this a cozy crime, a coming-of-age story with a hilarious protagonist and also a book of social commentary on Islamophobia. That’s not an easy feat." – Bina, WOC Reads

"[A] very basic but intense struggle, wanting to live up to the expectations placed upon her, but also wanting to do make the right choices for herself and people she cares about, even if her choices go against those expectations." – Sarah Wendell, Smart Bitches Trashy Books

"[Asiya] has none of the self-pity or victimhood that sometimes characterises protagonists who juggle two worlds/cultures." – Manasa, Not Chai-Tea

LIKE NANCY DREW, BUT NOT...

Craving a taste of teenage life, Asiya Haque defies her parents to go for a walk (really, it was just a walk!) in the woods with Michael, her kind-of-friend/crush/the guy with the sweetest smile she’s ever seen. Her tiny transgression goes completely off track when they stumble on a dead body. Michael covers for Asiya, then goes missing himself.

Despite what the police say, Asiya is almost sure Michael is innocent. But how will she, the sheltered girl with the strictest parents ever, prove anything? With Michael gone, a rabid police officer in desperate need of some sensitivity training, and the murderer out there, how much will Asiya risk to do what she believes is right?
