À propos de cet audio

Laos, 1975: The Communist Pathet Lao has taken over this former French colony. Dr. Siri Paiboun, a 72-year-old Paris-trained doctor, is appointed national coroner. Although he has no training for the job, there is no one else: the rest of the educated class have fled.

He is expected to come up with the answers the party wants, but crafty and charming Dr. Siri is immune to bureaucratic pressure. At his age, he reasons, what can they do to him? And he knows he cannot fail the dead who come into his care without risk of incurring their boundless displeasure. Eternity could be a long time to have the spirits mad at you.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A wonderfully fresh and exotic mystery…If Cotterill…had done nothing more than treat us to Siri’s views on the dramatic, even comic crises that mark periods of government upheaval, his debut mystery would still be fascinating. But the multiple cases spread out on Siri’s examining table…are not cozy entertainments but substantial crimes that take us into the thick of political intrigue.” ( New York Times Book Review)

Interesting characters and storyline. Look forward to the next in the series. Would give it 4.5, but the system won’t allow. It’s really good, just not five stars.

An enjoyable listen

This is not the type of book I usually buy, but I gave it a try. I liked the title. I was immediately drawn into the story. It is original, engaging and very well narrated. The protagonist was appealing and easy to relate to. The plot was unpredictable, but flowed from start to finish. I found this story transported me right into it, which doesn't happen often. I particularly enjoyed the ending. I would definitely recommend this story as wholly listen-worthy.

A worthwhile, engrossing story.

A sleeper hit

The narrator is great in dialogue, yet boring monotone in straight narration. Speeding it up to 1.3 helped and made this a pleasurable listen.

Good story, weak narration
