Vish Puri E-Sampler

Vish Puri #excerpts

by Tarquin Hall

A sampler from each title in Hall’s fun, exotic, mystery series, about which Andrew McCall Smith says, “These books are little gems. They are beautifully written, amusing, and intensely readable.”An honest public litigator is accused of murdering his maidservant in The Case of the Missing Servant ; the Hindu goddess Kali comes down to earth and murders a laughing scientist in The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing ; and the father of the most prominent cricket player in India dies at a feast in The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken. In each of these unique, humorous mysteries, the beloved Most Private Investigator, Vish Puri, sets out to get to the bottom of these witty whodunits, with many a hiccup along the way.

I love all Vishpuri stories. It's nice to have this little sampler on my phone for when I need something to read while waiting at a doctor's office or the mechanics. It has 5 nice recipes, too!
