A review by mcmoon
The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken by Tarquin Hall

4.0

This is a cozy Indian mystery with a cozy detective! I love Vish Puri’s mom. The plot is entertaining, and you’ll enjoy the book if you can put aside any lofty expectations that the book be anything other than a mystery ride through the colorful suburbs of Delhi, where shady characters are bought to justice. My only issue with the book is that the Indianness of the characters is sometimes unnecessarily overemphasized. Still a heartwarming read with good natured characters, dashes of suspense, and some interesting social commentary.
