The Case of the Mysterious Witches
About the Book
In this gripping third instalment of the M4 legal-mystery series, four intrepid young sleuths — Meera, Malhar, Mirchi and Munna — stumble into a chilling web of superstition and power when a tribal village casts a widow as a witch. What begins as a weekend trek turns into a race to uncover the truth: Is there black magic at work… or something far more insidious?
With stone-throwing mobs, land-grab conspiracies and spiritual charlatans pulling strings, the book deftly explores how fear and blind belief can become weapons. Against this backdrop, the young detectives challenge myths, question authority and seek justice.
Perfect for readers aged 10 +, The Case of the Mysterious Witches invites us to ask: when everyone says “that’s how things are done,” do you still keep asking why?
