À propos de cet audio

 A fascinating mystery featuring Ladarat Patalung, the first and only nurse detective in Thailand.

As a nurse ethicist, Ladarat Patalung works to save the lives of her patients, and to make sure the ones she can't save have at least the dignity of a "good death."

But when wealthy foreign travelers start to go missing all across Thailand, Detective Wiriya Mookjai fears that a killer is at large, and turns to Ladarat for help.

The travelers have nothing in common, except for brief stays at a mysterious resort, known as the Magic Grove Hotel. . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Stellar sequel [with] a refreshingly admirable lead."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Casarett's second Chang Mai Detective Agency novel has oodles of old-fashioned charm, with an easy pace, colorful characters, and a lively curiosity for the interesting details of everyday life. Piquantly titled chapters add a soupcon of comic zest."—Kirkus
"Perfect for those who enjoy Colin Cotterill and Alexander McCall Smith."—Booklist (starred review)
"A charming mystery...a delight."—Vaseem Khan, author of the Baby Ganesh Detective Agency series, on Murder at the House of Rooster Happiness
"A wonderful debut novel full of the sights, sounds and senses of Thailand mixed in with one hell of a great plot and a heroine -- Ladarat Patalung -- who stays with you long after the book is closed. Bring on the second in the series."—Ian Hamilton, author of the Ava Lee novels, on Murder at the House of Rooster Happiness
"I love this book. It's not only a killer mystery, but it also introduces a uniquely appealing central character and gives us a warm and accurate look into the Thai heart."—Timothy Hallinan, author of the Junior Bender mysteries and the Poke Rafferty Bangkok thrillers, on Murder at the House of Rooster Happiness
"Appealing."—Kirkus, on Murder at the House of Rooster Happiness

Look,was it great? No. Was it derivative? Wildly. But it wasn't thaaat bad. It was just very, very slow
And uneventful. And ethically ambiguous. And, I'll admit it, it's always just a bit weird reading a book about a female POC written by a white man, particularly one from an entirely different culture.

The bits of Thai culture that peppered the story were probably the most interesting parts. That and the dog.

I just feel like it was trying very hard to emulate The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, from the tone (it doesn't compare) to the type of crimes (very human, local...) to the fact that the female lead relies, or at least often refers to, a text by a white "expert."

I didn't hate it, but I had really hoped to like it more.
