Review 'This series kickoff is an embarrassment of riches: Holmesian sleuthing, political satire and droll comic study of a prickly late bloomer.' Kirkus Reviews. 'Cotterill has a wonderful sense of farce... a delightful book.' Sydney Morning Herald. 'Cotterill's depiction of this exotic, troubled country is fascinating, and his light touch makes Siri, with his humanity and strange dreams, a very appealing character.' Guardian. --Reviews. From the Back Cover Life has taken a funny turn for Siri Paiboun. After years in obscurity, his country needs him. He is to be their only coroner. Because he's the only doctor left. When one of the leaders' wives turns up in Siri's hot, shabby, smelly morgue, he's expected to solve her murder with no experience, training or equipment to speak of. His only hope is his two trusty assistants, neither of whom knows anything either. As if this weren't enough, the tortured bodies of several soldiers start floating to the surface of a lake and this second case is even more politically charged than the first.
