" This is the first in a great and unconventional mystery series about a coroner in communist Laos. It's lovely and quirky, filled with the crazy irrationality of Laotian politics and bureaucracy and glimpses of the supernatural. It's grand, as is the entire series.

" I really enjoyed this. It was a very quick and easy read, and despite the body count fairly light hearted. I look forward to reading more of Colin Cotterill's books.

" This is a fun series I just started. I love detective series that take place in foreign countries, and this one is in Laos. The characters are great and at about 3/4 through, I'm really glad there are several more in the series to look forward to!

" I liked it and would recommend to mystery buffs. Set in Laos in the 1970s, our hero is a 72 year old coroner with a twinkle in his eye. A quick read.

" A fun read, but an odd read. The main character is in his seventies and his dialogue just didn't ring true to me. But again, still fun... i'm reading Book #2.

" A series based on a 70-some National Coroner in 1970s Laos who sees ghosts of his clients sounds pretty far-fetched, but it has taken the place as one of my must read mysteries. Exotic locations, worlds I know nothing about, and characters who delight. Cotterill has me hooked.
