Club You To Death By Anuja Chauhan Published by HarperCollins

Someone once said, “Dying is easy, comedy is hard.” But it takes a special kind of skill to deftly make the two tango in a screwball murder mystery. Anuja Chauhan, in her sixth outing as a novelist, effortlessly achieves this delicate balance in Club You To Death.

Her sparkling narrative prowess takes readers on a breezy ride through Delhi’s high society shenanigans played out in a doddering old exclusive club—“the capital’s oldest and finest”. At the Delhi Turf Club (DTC), perfectly manicured Zumba aunties giggle and glad-eye their heartthrob of a gym instructor who “bench-presses like a beast” and has a wildly popular YouTube channel called ‘Lose it with Leo’. Pot-bellied husbands regard the muscled charmer as nothing more than a “bloody PT master!” But one morning when Leo is found pressed under a barbell stacked with plates weighing 120kg—a day after he punched a belligerent uncle at the club’s bumper tombola—the posh and pristine DTC starts to come undone, revealing its web of dirty secrets and noxious class politics.
