Don't Eat Me
Don't Eat Me | Colin Cotterill
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Between getting into a tangle with a corrupt local judge, and discovering a disturbing black-market business, Dr. Siri and his friend Inspector Phosy have their hands full in the thirteenth installment of Colin Cotterill's quirky, critically acclaimed series. Dr. Siri Paiboun, the 75-year-old ex-national coroner of Laos, may have more experience dissecting bodies than making art, but now that he’s managed to smuggle a fancy movie camera into the country, he devises a plan to shoot a Lao adaptation of War and Peace with his friend Civilai. The only problem? The Ministry of Culture must approve the script before they can get rolling. That, and they can’t figure out how to turn on the camera. Meanwhile, the skeleton of a woman has appeared under the Anusawari Arch in the middle of the night. Siri puts his directorial debut on hold and assists his friend Phosy, the newly promoted Senior Police Inspector, with the ensuing investigation. Though the death of the unknown woman seems to be recent, the flesh on her corpse has been picked off in places as if something—or someone—has been gnawing on the bones. The plot Siri and his friends uncover involves much more than a single set of skeletal remains.

Now some of the events in the newest Dr. Siri mystery make sense! I‘m finally caught up on this series and I really enjoyed this entry. The characters are so well drawn, I feel like I could meet them if I ever visit Vientiane. My favorites this time are Geung and Tukta.

"Though the death of the unknown woman seems to be recent, the flesh on her corpse has been picked off in places as if something—or someone—has been gnawing on the bones. The plot Phosy soon uncovers involves much more than a single set of skeletal remains."

I came upon this book while browsing the mystery section and couldn't help but think of that one line:

"Do you still hear the lambs, Clarice?"

This should be an interesting read.

The newest Dr Siri Paiboun is exceptional as always, and has more dramatic twists than a mountain road in Norway! There's lots of suspense, humor, and understated horror (related to this book's public awareness message. There's even something new with the spirits!
