PODCAST
​​
They have been sleuthing for more than a 100 years - in Mughal courts and in Rajput palaces, in the crooked by lanes of Benaras and the bustling cities of Calcutta and Bombay, in the tea gardens of Darjeeling, in the deserts of Rajasthan. Sometimes dressed in dhotis and sherwanis, and sometimes in salwar kurtas and nine-yard sarees.
These are the Desi Detectives.
After all, who says a deerstalker is a must for solving crime? A turban would do just as well.
​
The Desi Detective show, created, hosted and produced by Suparna Chatterjee, explores the history and the mystery behind the best detective stories, fictional and real, originating from India.
AUDIO MYSTERIES
Haradhoner Doshti Chhele (Bengali)
Suparna lived the first half of her life in Kolkata, India, then travelled with her globe-trotting husband, setting up home in a different corner of the world every few years - in New Delhi (India), in Richmond, Virginia (USA), in Fontainebleau (France), in Singapore, before moving back to India. Her stint away from home gave her a different perspective - the sheer charm of it became apparent. The reflections of those times, away from home and family, resulted in her first novel, The All Bengali Crime Detectives (Rupa) - a cosy detective mystery, where four recently retired men take to solving neighbourhood crimes. This was followed by the sequel, The Mysterious Death of Probhat Sanyal. Her musical play, Anand and Benaifer, has been staged in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Her first Bengali murder mystery, Haradhoner Doshti Chhele, written for the audio format, crossed 1 million views on YouTube in a few short days and received rave reviews and comments.
​
The first book of a new cosy murder mystery series, The Serenity Murders, will be out in 2026. She is the creator, host and producer of the podcast, The Desi Detective Show, available on Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts.

When she is not plotting murder, she spends her time reading, listening to classical music or meditating. She currently lives in Bengaluru with her husband and daughter.
