I can't believe I forgot to review this sooner, since it's probably my favourite book in the Vish Puri series. I read them out of order, so even though this is the first one in the series, I read it third. They're easily read in any order, though. The first one I read was The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken and I fell in love with everything about it. But even I was surprised with how much I enjoyed The Case of the Missing Servant. It's both a well written book and a jolly good mystery. Plus, it was good to finally get more insight into some of the characters' back stories, particularly the origins of their nicknames (Facecream, Handbrake, etc.). If you've never read a Vish Puri novel, this one is a great start.

Yay! You know that joy you feel when, after discovering a new mystery author and thinking perhaps you have a new favourite series, you then read a second book by that author and realize that yes, you were right to love them? By contrast, there's nothing worse than being disappointed in the second book you read by an author after loving their first. Thankfully, Tarquin Hall did not disappoint.
