Description
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.

By god, isn't this one of the best stories I have read this year or what!! Interesting character names, weirdos and even weirder stories, cartloads of jalebis and fun, what else can a reader ask for!!
Rajma chawal, aloo parathas and all the gastronomic delicacies left me drooling for more! Usage of Hindi words and slangs made this read even more enjoyable.
Saanvi and Riya Kaur's mystery was absolutely brilliant. Mummy-ji turned out to be an excellent detective. By god, Vish should recruit her as his side-kick. The quirky doos of weirdo characters make you laugh out loud. Characters with names like FaceCream, TubeLight and HandBrake makes you giggle.
The Case of a Reincarnated Client is a brilliant story with a tadka (tempering). (No Indian dish is complete without a tadka!) I recommend this story to one and all. Brilliantly concocted plot, wonderful and hilarious characters, ek dum top-class sleuthing by Vish Puri - what else does a mystery lover need?!!
