Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach
Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach: A Jimm Juree Mystery | Colin Cotterill
2 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
In rural Thailand, former crime reporter Jimm Juree must grapple with her quirky family, a mysterious mother and daughter on the lam and the small matter of a head on the beach ... When Jimm Juree's mother sold the family house and invested in a rundown 'holiday camp' at the southern end of Thailand on the Gulf of Siam, the family had little choice but to follow. Jimm Juree, who was well on her way to achieving her goal of becoming the primary crime reporter for the major daily newspaper in Chiang Mai, is less than thrilled to have lost her job as a reporter and to be stuck in the middle of nowhere where little of interest happens. So it is with mixed feelings that she greets the news that a head has washed up on the beach. It's tragic, of course, but this could be the sort of sensational murder that would get her a byline in a major daily and keep her toehold on her journalism career. Now all she has to do is find out who was murdered, and why. Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach is the second Jimm Juree Mystery from Colin Cotterill.

#LitsyPartyOfOne finished listening to this audiobook on my morning walk and loved it almost as much as the first #JimmJuree mystery. Set in Thailand very like the Stephanie Plum mysteries in tone and characters but a bit darker here dealing with enforced slavery of Burmese people by corrupt Thai entitled families and politicians and police. Ridiculous situations and you have to love Grandpa. Recommended on audio unless familiar with Thai ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I thought this was pretty charming. Light on plot but great in every other way. I tried this after enjoying Cotterill's Dr. Siri series (ha!), which is awesome, BTW.

MicheleinPhilly When I saw the cover I thought it was a children's book. ☺ 7y
AlaMich @MicheleinPhilly In that case the title would've been interesting indeed! 7y
