From Booklist:
*Starred Review* Jimm Juree is a Thai journalist who feels she’s come down in the world since she had to leave all the excitement of the big city and her position as crime reporter for the Chiang Mai Daily Mail to move with her family to the tiny village of Maprao in southern Thailand. There, she helps her confused and confusing family run a failing country resort on the Gulf of Siam. She freelances and supplements her income by translating Thai into English; each chapter starts with an example of crazed English signs, as in, “Please Leave Your Values at the Front Desk.” The editor at the local paper gives Jimm an assignment to interview Maprao’s most famous farang (European), a Brit who writes best-selling crime novels. Dramatic irony is used exquisitely throughout. For example, the reader knows what Jimm doesn’t know about the crime author who is cleaving watermelons with an ax when she first meets him: he uses his ax on much more than watermelons. As Jimm is falling under the author’s spell, and coming ever closer to being cleaved herself, she’s also investigating the disappearance of several women in the area. In addition to a clockwork plot and an intriguing setting, what really makes this book sing is Jimm’s own caustic, ribald observations. A stunner of a novel, third in the Jimm Juree series by the author of the acclaimed Dr. Siri novels. --Connie Fletcher

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Since Jimm Juree moved, under duress, with her family to a rural village on the coast of Southern Thailand, she misses the bright lights of Chiang Mai. Most of all, she's missed her career as a journalist, which was just getting started. In Chiang Mai, she was covering substantial stories and major crimes. But here in Maprao, Jimm has to scrape assignments from the local online journal, the Chumphon Gazette-and be happy about it when she gets one. This time they are sending her out to interview a local farang (European) writer, a man in his late fifties, originally from England, who writes award-winning crime novels, one Conrad Coralbank. At the same time, several local women have left town without a word to anyone, leaving their possessions behind. These include the local doctor, Dr. Sumlak, who never returned from a conference, and the Thai wife of that farang writer, the aforementioned Conrad Coralbank. All of which looks a little suspicious, especially to Jimm's grandfather, an ex-cop, who notices Coralbank's interest in Jimm with a very jaundiced eye. With a major storm headed their way and a potential serial killer on the loose, it looks like Jimm Juree, her eccentric family, and the whole town of Maprao is in for some major changes. The next instalment in Cotterill's acclaimed crime series set in Thailand, featuring reporter Jimm Juree.
