Rima Ray is a Reader’s Digest–ranked bestselling Asian American author of international mysteries and thrillers. Death of an Idol and Death of an Idol 2 are the first two books in her acclaimed Seoul to Mumbai Mysteries series.
Born on November 27, 1994, in Ontario, Canada, Rima spent her childhood across Kuwait, Qatar, India, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Canada, and the United States—an upbringing that deeply influences the global settings of her novels.
Now based on the East Coast, she leads a quieter life as a university professor. When she’s not writing or reading mysteries (Agatha Christie being her lifelong favorite), she enjoys exploring Asian cuisine and spending time with her beloved pets.
Her debut novel, Ruby Roy and the Murder in the Falls, won the Readers’ Favorite Award (2022) and was ranked among the Top 10 Cozy Mysteries of the Year by Reader's Digest.
Her upcoming release, To Kill a King, Book 3 of Seoul to Mumbai Mysteries is available for pre-order on Amazon and is set to launch on June 6, 2026, followed by To Capture a Queen, currently in the works.
