This review is from: Case of the Missing Servant (Paperback)
While I am still reading the book, I am annoyed with the extensive glossary. Instead of the author using the definition at least when it first appears in the book, (if it is a single one) we have to go to the glossary for every one of the foreign words or terms.

After living in Delhi for a year, the book provided a fun trip down memory lane.
