The Case of the Missing Servant  (English, Paperback, Hall Tarquin)

This book was a very delightful read but i expected it to be much better as per the comments and the place which it got in the top 10's overall the book was good like from the first page till the end but still the twist didn't thrill me .

"The Case of the Missing Servant" is a highly entertaining and readable detective novel set in India. Vish Puri, the detective, comes across as a very shrewd and endearing character with many lovable and fascinating quirks. The other characters in the book are also very interesting and well fleshed out, in a literary sense. The story moves at a brisk pace and resolution at the end is neat and believable.
This is the first of four books so far by Tarquain Hall in this series and I certainly...

I'm a big murder-mystery buff & I def. warmed upto 'Vish Puri', the almost cliched Indian detective.

More than the story perhaps I loved the colors of the book, the author paints a very rich picture of Delhi & Indian life - and given the fact the author is an expat, it made for interesting reading.

I've lent the books (this one & the second 'Man who died laughing') to some 'phirang' friends of mine & they enjoyed them as well.
