From cover:
Meet Vish Puri, India's most private investigator. Portly, persistent and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a determined swathe through modern India's criminal classes. Ably assisted by his undercover operators, Tubelight, Flush and Facecream, he ingeniously combines modern techniques with principles of detection established in india more than two thousand years ago - long before 'that Johnny-come-lately- Sherlock Holmes. In hot and dusty Delhi, his routines wotk comes from screening prospective marriage partners. But when lawyer Ajay Kasliwai is accused of killing his maidservant, Puri's resources are properly put to the test.

The true charm of these books is Delhi and India, the climps we get of life in that part of the world.

"If Mma Ramotswe is an African Marple, Vish Puri is an Indian Poirot" -Financial Times. That line encouraged me to grab this book, maybe I use it for Helmet 2017 reading challenge as a book about India. Thank you for bringing this one and for a nice chat. Happy Easter!

I was amused by these nicknames Vish Puri used, Handbrake Facecream etc. The story was ok, nothing too exciting.
