Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara

4.0

Told from the point of view of a nine-year-old, as he and his two best friends try to solve the mystery of a missing child that the police can't be bothered to search for. There are funny moments, but it's overall pretty somber, as you might guess by the subject matter. A humanizing face to a story that often is reduced to statistics, and to things that only happen "somewhere else, to someone else".
