About the Book

Easter Murder is a great read both as a crime thriller and a jolting peep into the dark side of Christian religious institutions. It is perhaps the first Church-oriented crime story in Indian English fiction. Centred round the murder of a priest in a Catholic seminary, Ponmala creates a fast-paced, compact narrative that holds readers’ attention. Beyond the dimensions of a crime story, Easter Murder delves, with startling realism, into the intrigues, rivalries and power struggles that plague contemporary Christianity which cast dark shadows on the liberating personality of Jesus himself.”
