A Taste for Murder follows the Das sisters as they investigate a series of poisonings at the prestigious Temasek University in Singapore. The hunters become the hunted when a family member is the next victim.

Poisons. Mayhem. At Singapore's premier university.

The Das Sisters follow the trail of a diabolical murderer. This is the second book in the Das Sisters Mystery Series, with Inspector Dolly Das and her sister, Lily, immersed in a gripping university murder case.

It is 2011. When a Korean postdoctoral fellow from the chemistry department dies suddenly, apparently from a heart attack brought on by food poisoning, canteen stall owner Lily Das is in danger of losing her business license. Intent on clearing her name, Lily, with the assistance of her sister, Dolly, uncovers that the victim was deliberately poisoned.

As more poisonings occur, jeopardising the lives of people they know, Lily and Dolly suspect a serial killer is on the loose on campus. Collaborating with their mother, Uma, Dolly's son, Ash, Lily's assistants, Vernon and Angie, and the domestic helper, Girlie, they must race against time to catch the murderer and halt the killing spree.

However, can Lily think clearly when she is estranged from her husband? And can Dolly maintain her job when her envious boss is intent on retiring her? Both Lily and Dolly must conquer these challenges to apprehend an elusive, cruel, and highly dangerous killer.
