I've read the first two books in this series. The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken is next in line. I will read that one this month.

The characters in this series are great - the MC, his family and the operatives who work for him. Each has a distinct personality. Plus the MC's mother gets involved in solving her own mysteries much to the MC's chagrin. I enjoy the author's wry sense of humor and the insights into Indian culture and food.

fyi - There's a glossary at the end of the book that (as I remember it) mostly describes Indian food that our MC loves to eat.

I have been looking at these books - glad you gave me the excuse to finally read this series!!
