The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing

The book manages to be funny while still engaging with a murder case. I wonder how the tone was crafted to keep that balance.

The setting in India and the local customs made the story richer, but I'm curious if that also influenced the plot twists or characterizations.

Humor isn't always common in crime fiction, so I wonder what led to this approach and how it affected the narrative's pacing.
