Order of Dr. Siri Paiboun Books

---

At the beginning of this book, it is depicted that Dr. Siri is one of the last medical practitioners left in Laos. He gets drafted as a national coroner, but does not seem to have training for the new job. But, his curiosity plays an important role in working his way out with the unknown things.

Thirty-Three Teeth

When he attempts to unravel the murder mysteries, he does not fear the wrath of the political parties because he feels that the spirits of all the dead are there to comfort him. Siri goes on to carry out a number of autopsies for solving the mysterious murders. He tries to find the truth behind the deaths which appear to be bear bites and also to explain the reason behind the death of a government official who ran at full speed and fell from the window of his house located on the 7th floor.

Siri also tried to find out the origins of the dead bodies that are discovered from a crashed helicopter in the Luang Prabang temple. In the end, it turns out that everything is not as calm and peaceful as it seems in the new Communist of Laos. If you see one missing just send me an e-mail below.

One of my favourite series is the Brilliance Saga by Marcus Sakey and it is our featured series of the month. It's just an incredible light sci-fi series that fans of "Dark Matter" would also enjoy. It's free on Kindle Unlimited too! Great story, mixing the sacred and the profane. Thank you Colin Mark. Enthralling tale, beautifully brought to life by the narrator.

I will definitely be downloading the other stories in this series. Would you listen to Thirty-Three Teeth again? An unusual storyline with quirky characters based in a country I understood very little about before listening to this book. The main thread is a thriller, interwoven with a little of the history and background of Laos. Lots packed into this great book and narrated with great enthusiasm.

This is the second book in the series, good narration and fabulous plot. I love the characters and could barely wait for the next in the series. I know I will listen again to this book.

Publisher's Summary

The mischievous Dr Siri is very endearing, a rare look into 's Laos brought to life. The narrator is really excellent bringing the characters to life. Just as the first. Through no fault of his own, he is one of the last real medical doctors within Laos. Yet, people still die under suspicious circumstances and the country needs at least one forensic medical examiner.

When the previous one passed on, they came to Siri and he had little choice. In this second book in the series, he has settled into his j Dr. In this second book in the series, he has settled into his job with his two assistants who also get little respect. They are confronted by several intriguing challenges including the future of the royal family in a Communist regime and a bear on the loose in Vientiane. Three characters are introduced who have major impacts on the plot: Are they a threat? I will say no more to avoid spoiling the plot. This is both a mystical mystery and thriller. Cotterill handles all of this very well, but what has engaged me most in these stories is the mystical aspect.

Thirty Three Teeth provides a heaping plate of that. Is Siri the reincarnation of Yeh Ming? If so, what does that mean? How do thirty-three teeth make a difference? What is the role of a very old elephant? And what lies within a trunk bearing the royal seal?

Aug 14, Julie rated it really liked it Shelves: I continue to enjoy Dr. Siri's "cynical optimism" -- which just about sums up my view on life. His delightful, if slightly twisted, sense of humour and eastern spirituality carries the plot along at a brisk pace, and I am always disappointed it is over so soon. One would be very hard-pressed to find a more engaging, self-contradicting, paradoxical fictional detective. The plots are not "deep" or particularly devious -- but the exploration of character makes it all worthwhile.

At the same time, I I continue to enjoy Dr. At the same time, I am learning more about Laotian history and culture through the pages of a detective novel than I ever imagined possible. Always a fun read if you're looking for comfort, and a damned good chuckle throughout. Thirty-Three Teeth is the second book in the Dr. Siri Paiboun about a 72 year old coroner in the 70's era in Laos. The last coroner swam across the river in Thailand when the new government came in so Dr. Siri was chosen for the position. He had hoped to be retired.

I really was taken with the first book The Coroner's Lunch so I was eager to continue the series. I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first book. One reason is there is more mystical or supernatural element in this book. A pow Thirty-Three Teeth is the second book in the Dr.

A powerful shaman from has chosen Dr. Siri's body to dwell in. It seemed a little disjointed to me too. However, I am looking forward to reading the third book. Siri very much with his sly gentle humor.

He can quietly be subversive to obtain what he wants. The characters are wonderful and as a reader I want to continue with them. In this book, I learned more about Nurse Dtui his assistant. She is smart, a self starter and clever. Siri lunches and conversations with Civilai. There is humor in the book.

It was quite a scene when the Communist party called together spirit leaders to have them forbade spirits to coming forward in the future. There was a bear, a Russian animal trainer, a deposed king, two dead bodies on top of a bicycle and new characters introduced. It is an unique enjoyable series.

Thirty-Three Teeth is the second installment in the Siri Paiboun series. Paiboun and his coterie remain as engaging as ever, and while there's a savage, serial murderer loose in Vientiane, the bulk of the novel is more concerned with Siri's efforts to cope with the fact that he's the reincarnated soul of a thousand-year-old shaman, Yeh Ming.

A Dr. Siri Paiboun Mystery Series

Even though the spirits of the dead continue to help Dr. Paiboun solve his cases, those who wish can still rationalize it away as Siri's subconscious wor Thirty-Three Teeth is the second installment in the Siri Paiboun series. Paiboun solve his cases, those who wish can still rationalize it away as Siri's subconscious working below the surface God knows, Siri does it half the time.

Even so, they are not a gimmick that allows the author to wrap up the mystery. They're obscure and not talkative and Paiboun has to gather the physical evidence to track down his criminals. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the murder of Siri's dog Saloop in a to me gratuitous subplot about a thuggish neighbor. I hope Cotterill incorporates it in a later novel so that it takes on a bit more meaning -- we'll see. I look forward to continuing the series.

I particularly appreciate that we learn more about the characters with this book. There was a Ph. He is smart, logical and very loyal to his friends. He, and we, also finds out more about Nurse Dtui. There is more to her than is originally known and she goes off on her own investigation. What I love about reading Cotterill is that they are wonderful stories. His writing is so visual and the individual scenes are memorable in themselves. Put together, I find myself captivated by the combination of the characters and the plot.

I never know where the story is going next but thoroughly enjoy every step of the journey. In this engaging mystery, Dr Siri has a number of puzzles to solve with the assistance of his unlikely team of colleagues and friends. Oh, and some help from the spirit world as well. The communist regime of Laos brings its own flavour to proceedings.

Dr Siri is called upon to travel to Luang Prabang on a national security matter so top secret that the Judge who has despatched him is unable to tell him anything about it. When the call to arms comes the committed cadre even on his honeymoon would gladly climb off his young wife at the crucial moment sooner than let down the party. Jun 01, Chris rated it really liked it Shelves: I really enjoy the humor and irony of this mystery series. The characters are engaging and it is fascinating to read about Laos in the 70's and the challenges that the national ie only coroner faces on a daily basis.

Everything from oppressive bureaucracy, lack of chemicals, limited resources for example, the lab has one camera and is allowed 4 photos per "guest"they save the last few for weddings, etc. Most of his cases have political overtones and this one is no exception. It didn't get any farther with me because the main mystery there are usually several in these stories is so far fetched that I just found it to be rather silly. Others may disagree, and I fully intend on continuing with the series because I am still enjoying these characters and their strange world.

Sep 05, Anna rated it it was ok. After The Coroner's Lunch , I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn't hold up as well. Sure, most of the best characters were back, but this time I found it too heavy on the supernatural, with extended sections that really challenged my sense of plausibility. The plot also lacked the strong forward movement of the first book, perhaps because it didn't have as much sleuthing.

There were even times well into the book when I found myself only somewhat interested and it was easy to put After The Coroner's Lunch , I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn't hold up as well. There were even times well into the book when I found myself only somewhat interested and it was easy to put the story aside from the night. I might read one more from this series to see if this book was an aberration; if Lunch was Cotterill's first book, he probably went through the repeated revisions one does when a book might be your only shot at publication.

If that were the case, I could easily understand different expectations -- and a very different writing process -- for this one. I hope he later returned to the form that made Lunch such a delight to read. Jan 27, Mark rated it really liked it Shelves: Siri Paiboun , the National coroner of Laos, returns for his second adventure. He is a widower, in his early 70s, still quite sharp-minded but looking to retire. He is also a shaman, so he has vivid and prophetic dreams and can see spirits lurking in the shadows.
