Media Reviews

Cotterill has never been better than in this ninth outing for acerbic Dr. Siri.... The action builds to an ingenious resolution. Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) After Cotterill's hiatus to launch another series set in Thailand ( Grandpa, There's a Head on the Beach , 2012, etc.), the return of that glorious curmudgeon Dr. Siri for a ninth escapade is bliss. Kirkus Reviews Praise for the Dr. Siri series Unpredicatable.... Tragically funny and magically sublime. Entertainment Weekly A wonderfully fresh and exotic mystery. The New York Times Book Review You get a real feeling for what Laos was like in the '70s. The humor is wonderful, too. New York Post
