About the Author

Colin Cotterill is an author and cartoonist. He was born in London in 1952, and trained as a Physical Education teacher, before setting off on a world tour that hasn't ended yet. Along the way, he has held various teaching positions in Israel, Australia, the U. S., Japan, and Southeast Asia. He mostrar mais would eventually become involved in child protection, and it was his work with trafficked children that motivated him to write his first novel, The Night Bastard.

Two of his subsequent novels are child-protection based: Evil in the Land Without, and Pool and its role in Asian Communism. Cotterill may be best known as the author of the Dr. Siri Paiboun series, set in the People's Democratic Republic of Laos.

The Rat Catchers' Olympics (A Dr. Siri Paiboun… de Colin Cotterill

Enjoyable
I think the author struggles a bit as the series continues to come up with plausible situations for his elderly characters to become involved with, but they remain interesting and fun.
The supernatural elements get more play as the series continues, from not being sure he housed a spirit to occassionally vanishing into the spirit world is a long journey, and those who are just coming in to the series now would probably find it puzzling. Olympic setting was nice, added a feeling of camaraderie and hopefulness, though it was the olympics that the western democracies gave a pass to.
All in all, a fairly standard addition to the series… (mais)

I Shot the Buddha (A Dr. Siri Paiboun Mystery Book 11) de Colin Cotterill

A perhaps somewhat atypical entry in the series, as it deals with the supernatural more fully than any of the previous installments. Still has the mix of humor, culture and suspense that make the series a winner

The woman who wouldn't die de Colin Cotterill

I was so glad to see another Dr. Siri book, the way he ended the last one I wasn't sure he'd continue. As always the mystery is a bit of an excuse to enjoy the company of the usual round of characters in the fascinating surroundings of Laos
