"Dr. Siri Paiboun, the 70-something national coroner, Nurse Dtui, and Geung, a developmentally challenged morgue assistant, in 1970s Laos"

This is the first in this mystery series. I picked it up last night along with the 2nd book, Thirty-Three Teeth 2005, recommended by petronius in clyrc's op of Dec. 11. I like Dr. Siri very much.

What is amazing to me is that it is so obvious that these books were never borrowed from the library before. I think maybe people don't warm up to books written about foreign countries.

Anyway the author has a light humorous touch and I think this is the beginning of a new series for me. Am only on page 57, so things could change. Dr. Siri is 72 years of age...
