A little bit of a palate cleanser before I start on the much anticipated Silent Valley by Malla Nunn!

From the Blurb:

The portly Vish Puri is India’s most accomplished detective, at least in his own estimation, and is also the hero of an irresistible new mystery series set in hot, dusty Delhi. Puri’s detective skills are old-fashioned in a Sherlock Holmesian way and a little out of sync with the tempo of the modern city, but Puri is clever and his methods work.

I'm interested to know what you think -- I've seen this series before but never got around to trying one. It looks Dr. Siri-ish to me (from Colin Cotterill's series), and I love him, so I want to try this one, too.

Hi Karen, I'm only about 30% into the first book now so it's probably too early to tell yet, they are reminiscent of Dr Siri and Shamini Flint's books both.
