Disco For The Departed by Colin Cotterill
4.0
I enjoy this series and had to get this book on inter-library loan. This is book 3 in the series and it can be read as a stand alone, but the series is more enjoyable if read in order. In this book, Dr. Siri Paiboun, the National Coroner of Laos(and the only coroner in Laos), is sent to the rural Northeast of Laos to examine a body recently uncovered by a boulder crashing into a cement walkway.
He brings his assistant, Nurse Dtui with him. She wants to become a doctor, and he is doing all he can to help her achieve her goal.
Dtui and Siri discover more bodies and gradually discover what happened with the help of the spirit world. Siri is in regular contact with the spirit world, part of a long tradition in Laos. Siri also manages to deal with unpleasant superiors, successfully outmaneuvering several of them.
I rate this book a solid 4 stars.
The interesting insights into Laos society and quirky characters keep bringing me back to this series.
