HOW TO COMMIT A POSTCOLONIAL MURDER

Reena Dutt delivers an impeccable performance, capturing the nuances of two mixed-race girls navigating adolescence in Wyoming and the unease that follows when their uncle and his family from India move in. Dutt moves deftly between American-born sisters Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna's candid musings, and a growing dread as Uncle Vinny's presence turns intrusive. Sexual and domestic abuse strain family bonds in a place where questions of identity and belonging already weigh heavily on daily life, as Georgie traces connections between colonial power in India and oppression in her own home. Dutt's narration conveys Georgie's wide emotional range with humor and compassion. A haunting and empowering listening experience. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
