The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing by Tarquin Hall
4.0
Another fun romp into India and the crime-solving powers of Vish Puri!
Story: In this second title in the series, Vish Puri investigates the murder of Dr Suresh Jha. One day in a park, an apparition of the goddess Kali appears and stabs the victim with a sword. But there is more to this extraordinary killing than the spiritual murder itself. Dr Suresh Jha is well known for busting myths of gurus and mystics. Not to worry though, Vish Puri is on the case... as soon as he finishes his plate of spicy and delicious Indian snacks!
Character: Our chubby well-fed detective returns again and is just as consistent as always- in his food eating and crime busting. Also returning are his plethora of devious sidekicks to help him solve his crime. And don't forget Mummy-ji!
Language: Like the first book, this one is full of vocabulary and dialect that will pull you in and make you forget that you are not in Delhi. A glossary is included in the back again which contains most of the unknown words in the story.
A true delight, with formulaic enjoyment. Can't wait for the next one!
