Thirty-three Teeth
3 journalers for this copy...
Product description from amazon.co.uk:
Against all his expectations, Dr Siri Paiboun has rather enjoyed his first five months in office. Now, as hot-season nights close in, Siri is spirited away from Laos' steamy capital on a Matter of National Security. Arriving in Luang Prabang, he's a busy man, examining carbonized corpses, dining with the deposed king, attending a shamans' conference and being rescued by the ghost of an elephant. Not that Siri's complaining...Luang Prabang is in mountains and a good fifteen degrees cooler. Meanwhile, back at Vientiane headquarters, it's hot. Bloody hot - savaged bodies are piling up in Siri's absence. Is it the missing black bear from the circus, or could it be a weretiger? Siri's trusty assistant Nurse Dtui goes snooping but, unlike her boss, the spirits aren't looking out for her...And just what creature, if any, has thirty-three teeth?
My first book by Colin Cotterill - but it won't be my last! So much fun!

On the way to ApoloniaX via airmail.
Received it today! Thanks a lot for tagging me, klaradyn! I recently read Cotterill's The Coroner's Lunch - and enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to reading the next one.
Nice, humorous mystery that's special for its unique setting - Laos. Lots of background information, strong characters. It makes sense to read The Coroner's Lunch first. I have the 3rd one in the series lined up already...(Photo: the nameless monk, I saw him too.)

Hope you like it.
And I see this one's been continent-hopping so will try to send it on to another continent when I'm done! I'd chosen The Coroner's Lunch from your Asian First Page VBB, but got this too as an extra RABCK! Thanks a bunch, am sure I'll enjoy the books!
So, I've finally finished this second in the very entertaining series by Colin Cotteril...read pretty much all of it last night, after having decided that I really do need to get on with Mt. TBR, life in the way or not. It helped that the book is fun, informative and with twists interesting enough to keep the reader hooked.
Eagerly looking forward to the 3rd book now. :) Thanks ApoloniaX for introducing me to these, and I'll try to pass this one on soon!
