Review:
"This book is written with a wry sense of humour and a light touch . . . The author perfectly captures the cadences of Anglo-Indian English and the glossary of Indian terms at the back of the book is invaluable. This is the third in the Vish Puri series of books and I eagerly await the fourth." (Crime Review)
"The Punjabi Poirot is dogged by calamities in this comic tale" (Woman)
"Outstanding third mystery . . . Well drawn, colorful characters bolster a whodunit sure to appeal to those who enjoy a dash of humor with their crime." (Publishers Weekly)
"This lovely series is a great example of crime fiction functioning as a foreign holiday for the armchair traveler. Hall’s readers become happily immersed in the glorious rhythms and neologism of ‘Dilli’ language, while the cuisine is so well described you can almost smell it." (Morning Star)
"I love Hall’s blend of inventive plot and Ealing-Comedy eccentricity." (Saga magazine)
