Oh Dr. Siri how I love you! This is another excellent book in this series. Colin Cotterill has such a gift for creating not only complex and wonderful characters, but also his descriptions of the landscape and atmosphere in this story are so vivid.Whenever I finish one of these books I always feel like I've actually been a part of the story and lived it with the characters.There is a chaos and near death experiences, babies, and even a serial killer in this book and I loved every minute of reading it! Another in the Dr Siri series. Dr Siri is now running afoul of the Housing Department because of the people living in his official house and because he's been caught going into Madame Daeng's apartment. How Judge Haeng deals with the officers from this department is downright hilarious! But there is a serial killer on the loose whose identity appears to escape Inspector Phosy and Dr Siri, who is also distracted by the disappearance of Crazy Rajid .... who may not be quite so crazy after all.
Great story as always - really love this series featuring Laos pathologist Dr Siri Paiboun.

All the Paiboun books should be read, so I gave 5 stars. A little rushed at the end.

I enjoyed it but not as good as the others.
