Welcome to the Patel Motel. It's a killer place to stay.

When Milan Patel visits his parents at their family-run motel in Montana, he's expecting the usual drama. But shortly after he arrives, his father mysteriously dies in the motel pool. Now everyone's a suspect.

What was meant to be a quick trip becomes Milan's worst nightmare, as he races to solve his father's murder while confronting the past he tried to leave behind.

Both surprising and darkly funny, Murder at the Patel Motel is a witty, Agatha Christie-style mystery about a complicated Indian-American family, the gay son who vowed to never return home, and a small town that prefers its secrets stay buried.

Starring an acclaimed ensemble including Maulik Pancholy, Murray Bartlett, Poorna Jagannathan, Karan Soni, Anna Camp, Adam Pally, Margo Martindale, Richard Kind, Conrad Ricamora, Iqbal Theba, Julian Shapiro-Barnum, and Padma Lakshmi.

Entertaining and not preachy

Good story, fun characters, not super heavy handed with the characters lifestyles. I hope they continue this series!

Thank you, Audible!

I absolutely live this story and the cast!!! So entertaining!!! I truly look forward to the next murder! 🤗♥️👏🏻🙌🥰

Funny, twisty, modern, relatable.

This was such a great listen. Stumbled across it by accident and so happy I did.

The cast and the performances. The story is enjoyable and fun. An easy listen.

Believe it or not, but the main character is a asshole. I came to really like and enjoy the characters in the story, except for him. Arrogant. A snob. Selfish, rude and a pain in the ass. He deserves to be punched. His head is so far up his own ass, he doesn't even show concern for his boyfriend. An annoying character that took some enjoyment away from the story.

Funny and Smart

The performances are amazing. Feels like you're watching a show, it's very immersive, and funny!

An Absolute Thrill Ride

An Absolute Thrill Ride – Equal Parts Tension and Comedy!
This had me on the edge of my seat and laughing out loud—often at the same time! The pacing is razor-sharp, the performances magnetic, and the humor lands perfectly, cutting through the suspense without ever undermining it. It’s rare to find something that keeps your pulse racing and your spirits high. An exhilarating blend of intensity and wit—I didn’t want it to end.
Thank you for writing it—from the physician side to the motel side—well done. LOL!

This is the most fun audiobook I’ve ever listened to!

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this, but I am very pleasantly surprised. It made me laugh out loud several times and the story/performances were captivating!

Exactly what I was looking for.

A fun who-done-it with engaging characters and brilliant cast. Exactly what I was looking for.
