Thanks, Abhishek, for recommending this to me!
Vish Puri is a truly unique detective. If I were to try to describe him, I'd say, maybe, take Nero Wolfe but give him Stephanie Plum's friends and family, and set him down in Dehli.

4.5/B+ -- #1 Vish Puri
Vish Puri is a private detective in India. he is hired to find out what happened to a servant who disappeared when Ajay Kasliwal, her former boss, is accused of killing her. Puri is also investigating the fiance of a renowned generals granddaughter and trying to figure out who shot at him. I enjoyed this book more than the other one I read in the series. Less boring cricket details and more humor than the third book in the series.
While ostensibly a mystery the real power of this book is the education you get about India, its culture, people, politics. It is really an eye opener.
