Synopsis

Against all his expectations, Dr Siri Paiboun has rather enjoyed his first five months in office. Now, as hot-season nights close in, Siri is spirited away from Laos' steamy capital on a Matter of National Security. Arriving in Luang Prabang, he's a busy man, examining carbonized corpses, dining with the deposed king, attending a shamans' conference and being rescued by the ghost of an elephant. Not that Siri's complaining... Luang Prabang is in mountains and a good fifteen degrees cooler.
Meanwhile, back at Vientiane headquarters, it's hot. Bloody hot - savaged bodies are piling up in Siri's absence. Is it the missing black bear from the circus, or could it be a weretiger? Siri's trusty assistant Nurse Dtui goes snooping but, unlike her boss, the spirits aren't looking out for her... And just what creature, if any, has thirty-three teeth?

Goodreads review by H (no longer expecting notifications) Balikov on September 09, 2017

Dr. Siri Paiboun is now 72 years old. Through no fault of his own, he is one of the last real medical doctors within Laos. The socialist/communist government (after the Pathet Lao takeover) has not been a welcoming place for those with such skills. Yet, people still die under suspicious circumstance......more

Goodreads review by Marta on May 23, 2020

After reading the Coroner’s Lunch, I had to get the next in the series. What I wrote about the first still applies ([URL not allowed]), but of course the mystery is different. I very much enjoyed the banter, and especially the character development of Dtui. However, the myster......more
