The front cover suggests an action-packed, thriller-type read. But I hadn't bargained for the charm similar to A [[:Category:Alexander McCall-Smith|Alexander McCall Smith]]. So, a light read then, fair enough. And I could tell from Cotterill's one page 'Acknowledgements' that he is a witty writer. And that is certainly underlined by the chapter headings, such as ''Another Fine Mess'' and ''Lipstick and Too Tight Underwear.''
And the first sentence certainly caught my attention. ''Dr Siri and Madam Daeng sat on the edge of the smelly bed and looked at the body hanging from the door handle opposite.''
