7. _The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing_ by Tarquin Hall

Second in the series of "Vish Puri, India's Most Private Investigator". Vish and his operatives investigate the rather public murder of a debunker by the Goddess Kali. Also they look into the high-priced ashram of a Godman which his wife and mother investigate the robbery of the kittie from a kittie party. Great fun, and for anyone who has spent time in India, Hall's ear for Indian English will make you nostalgic.

Listening: _The People of Sparks_ by Jeanne Duprau. YA post-world-wide disaster. The people from the _City of Ember_, having escaped just in time, come to the surface to find that non-subterranean life is very different.

2013: 42 and counting.
