Author Tarquin Hall really knows how
to set the stage in his book, “The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing.” The
sights and sounds of modern India are a major part of this intriguing mystery.
Private investigator Vish Puri looks into the death of Dr. Suresh Jha,
well-known for unmasking fraudulent swamis and godmen. Dr. Jha died in a fit of
laughter at his morning yoga class when a vision of the goddess Kali appeared
in a cloud of smoke and ran him through with a sword.
While Puri is trying to find the murderer, his wife and mother have a
mystery of their own. During one of their ladies’ get-togethers, two masked
bandits robbed them. They’re determined to solve the crime, without telling
Puri.
The
audiobook, narrated by Sam Dastor, is wonderfully entertaining. Highly
recommended, especially to readers of Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies’
Detective Agency series.
