About this listen

A client claiming she was murdered in a past life is a novel dilemma even for Vish Puri, India’s most private investigator.

When a young woman comes forward saying she’s the reincarnation of Riya Kaur, a wife and mother who vanished during the bloody 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Puri is dismissive. He’s busy enough dealing with an irate matrimonial client whose daughter is complaining about her groom’s thunderous snoring. Puri’s indomitable Mummy-ji, however, is adamant the client is genuine. How else could she so accurately describe under hypnosis Riya Kaur’s life and final hours?

Driven by a sense of duty - the original case was his late father’s - Puri manages to acquire the police file only to find that someone powerful has orchestrated a cover-up. Forced into an alliance with his mother that tests his beliefs and high blood pressure as never before, it’s only by delving into the past the help of his reincarnated client that Puri can hope to unlock the truth.

As excellent as ever Vish, mummygi,
Rumpi, Handbrake, Tubelight Flash, Facecream and Gordon Gecko undertake a new mystery aided by Bobby, his father's old no2 and his faithful Ambassador.

Set in present day, but concerning the riots of 1984 and demonetisation of 2016, the two strands are woven into one story.
It is a more mature novel that made me think about history, Indira Gandhi, the riots and religion.

Vish seemed to eat his way through the story, and I definitely finished up feeling hungry for a curry and all accompaniments. I could smell the spices!

A More Mature Novel, as Vish Triumphs Again.

I have. been a long time fan of the Vish Puri series by Tarquin Hall, this was the only one I hadn't read and was proving elusive to get a physical copy. I got this thinking I might not enjoy it, but the narration brought the characters and the places alive for me.

the narration!

Another brilliant novel by Tarquin Hall and superb narration by Sam Dastor. The opening scene with Puri scared of Mummy ji's visit got us laughing so much that we had to re-listen to it. The plot, characters and setting come together in a novel that focuses on India, it's history and its people in a thoughtful manner, while keeping the tone light. The reader just can't "do tension" while listening to this novel.

Tarquin Hall and Sam Dastor does it again.
