2012 book 337

Tarquin Hall's The Case of the Missing Servant
The first book in the Vish Puri series reminds me a little of the Precious Ramotswe books, at least in terms of tones/sense of humor--the mysteries are certainly a little bit more intense here. In this one, Private Detective Puri and his motley crew try and find out just what happened to a missing servant, who may have been murdered. They also have some smaller cases, and Puri's Mummy is on the case as well. I really did love the humor here, as well as the characters and their fleshed out world in Delhi. I'm definitely going to read the next one, this one was such a delightful read. A-.
