About this ebook

A sampler from each title in Hall’s fun, exotic, mystery series, about which Andrew McCall Smith says, “These books are little gems. They are beautifully written, amusing, and intensely readable.”

An honest public litigator is accused of murdering his maidservant in The Case of the Missing Servant; the Hindu goddess Kali comes down to earth and murders a laughing scientist in The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing; and the father of the most prominent cricket player in India dies at a feast in The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken. In each of these unique, humorous mysteries, the beloved Most Private Investigator, Vish Puri, sets out to get to the bottom of these witty whodunits, with many a hiccup along the way.

Ratings and reviews

Love them, the stories, but not the high quality being touted. Bring down the price and let people get to know this author. Not to the liking of today's youth probably.

Amusing stories written in an interesting style, but not so great as to justify the high price of the individual books.

This book is so stupid!
