The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill

4.0

Dr. Siri is 72 years old and is dreaming of retiring, but it is one year after the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos has been established (1976) and the communist party needs him to be their coroner – even though he knows nothing about the job. Through Dr. Siri’s eyes as chief coroner we witness the insanity and corruption that marks the new communist regime in Laos. This actually is a very witty mystery story with a few ghosts thrown in - CSI Laos style. An enjoyable read on a Sunday afternoon.
