**NATIONAL BESTSELLER • *GOOD MORNING AMERICA* BUZZ PICK • A young Indian woman finds the false rumors that she killed her husband surprisingly useful—until other women in the village start asking for her help getting rid of their own husbands—in this razor-sharp debut.** * * * **A radically feel-good story about the murder of no-good husbands by a cast of unsinkable women.”— *The New York Times Book Review* (Editors’ Choice) ** * *Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR:* Shondaland, She Reads, CrimeReads * * * Five years ago, Geeta lost her no-good husband. As in, she actually *lost* him—he walked out on her and she has no idea where he is. But in her remote village in India, rumor has it that Geeta killed him. And it’s a rumor that just won’t die. It turns out that being known as a “self-made” widow comes with some perks. No one messes with her, harasses her, or tries to control ( *ahem,* marry) her. It’s even been good for business; no one dares to *not* buy her jewelry. Freedom must look good on Geeta, because now other women are asking for her ** “expertise,” making her an unwitting consultant for husband disposal. And not all of them are asking nicely. With Geeta’s dangerous reputation becoming a double-edged sword, she has to find a way to protect the life she’s built—but even the best-laid plans of would-be widows tend to go awry. What happens next sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything, not just for Geeta, but for *all* the women in their village. Filled with clever criminals, second chances, and wry and witty women, Parini Shroff’s *The Bandit Queens* is a razor-sharp debut of humor and heart that readers won’t soon forget.
