The Case of the Reincarnated Client

Pam Sartain

The Case of the Reincarnated Client is the fifth book in the Vish Puri series, and whilst I've not read any of the other books, I didn't feel I was missing out on too much!

The rest of the books are all crime novels as well, all set in India, and Vish Puri is a private investigator. 

In this book his mother brings him a case that she has decided he needs to take on, and that she's going to investigate with him. It's the case of a young girl claims to be a woman who was murdered during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, and Puri's mother is determined he will help her, especially as his late father had investigated the murder.

Puri is not pleased as he's dealing with another client who he did the background check on the groom, who is now snoring.  And the government is just making some of the paper money defunct.

I enjoyed this trip to to India, and the customs and insight it gave me.   I also enjoyed Puri's family life, and his mother.

 The Case of the Reincarnated Client  by Tarquin Hall was published on 4th February 2020, and is available to buy on  Amazon  and on  Waterstones .  I've found a  link  to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

In the Crypt with the candlestick by Daisy Waugh

Pecan Pies and Dead Guys by Angie Fox - this is a series that I've been enjoying.
