Meet Pushpa Babbar – the glamourous social dynamo of Gerrard’s Cross. Once a top-tier Delhi police officer, Pushpa traded in her badge for marriage, migration, motherhood, and a quiet life in wealthy, suburban Gerrard’s Cross. At first glance you’d assume she was a designer shopping and Pilates enthusiast, but Pushpa has a far more fascinating hobby, scrolling through obscure forums, defunct blogs and Reddit threads, searching for unsolved murder cases. While the police move on, Pushpa scrolls deeper, determined to find justice and closure for the grieving. Her online sleuthing has earned her a loyal social media fanbase and an inbox filled with requests to help them.
Helping her crack the toughest mysteries is her tech-whiz son Samir, whose brilliance with computers is only rivalled by his utter cluelessness in the dating department; and her next-door neighbour Holly, a new mum, that is willing to get embroiled in crime-solving as a welcome distraction from nappies.
But Pushpa’s sleuthing isn’t just a hobby — it’s personal. Beneath her stylish armour lies a wound that’s never healed: the unsolved murder of her brother 15 years ago. It’s the cold case that fuels her obsession — and the one she must finally confront in the series finale.
