I Shot the Buddha

fullDescription

A fiendishly clever mystery in which Dr. Siri and his friends investigate three interlocking murders-and the ungodly motives behind them Laos, 1979: Retired coroner Siri Paiboun and his wife, Madame Daeng, have never been able to turn away a misfit. As a result, they share their small Vientiane house with an assortment of homeless people, mendicants, and oddballs. One of these oddballs is Noo, a Buddhist monk, who rides out on his bicycle one day and never comes back, leaving only a cryptic note in the refrigerator: a plea to help a fellow monk escape across the Mekhong River to Thailand. Naturally, Siri can't turn down the adventure, and soon he and his friends find themselves running afoul of Lao secret service officers and famous spiritualists. Buddhism is a powerful influence on both morals and politics in Southeast Asia. In order to exonerate an innocent man, they will have to figure out who is cloaking terrible misdeeds in religiosity.

     Starred review from May 30, 2016
     In an introductory note, Cotterill warns readers that his highly entertaining 11th novel featuring Laotian coroner Dr. Siri Paiboun (after 2015’s Six and a Half Deadly Sins) is not for those who prefer their “mysteries dull and earthly.” A gripping opening follows, in which three women are murdered in three separate locations over one night in 1979. A flashback to two weeks earlier makes good on Cotterill’s disclaimer. The acerbic Siri and his redoubtable wife, Madam Daeng, who have plenty of experience with the supernatural, attend—and disrupt—a Communist Party seminar condemning spirit worship as part of the regime’s efforts to resolve conflicts between Communism and such faiths as Buddhism and animism. Meanwhile, Noo, a Thai monk whom the doctor has given refuge from the Thai military, vanishes, leaving a note asking Siri to smuggle a fellow monk back to Thailand, a mission that turns out to be connected to the murders of the three women. Cotterill’s subtle humor, coupled with the charm of his leads, will likely trump any discomfort with scenes with supernatural elements, even for readers who disapprove of such in their whodunits.

   • content: This Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery depicts Cotterill's lovable Laotian characters as they sort out a series of violent events with supernatural dimensions. Clive Chafers, narrator of a number of Dr. Siri mysteries, does a solid job. The story takes place in the postwar shambles of Laos and Thailand in 1979. Chafers's voice is rich and engaging. He makes challenging Thai and Lao names and vocabulary accessible to an English-speaking audience. His relatively leisurely pace allows the listener to stay with Cotterill's often surprising plot twists. Siri Paiboun mysteries are potentially challenging audiobooks because the names can blend together and the author's abrupt shifts of scene in the middle of chapters can be confusing. Start with the first audiobook, THE CORONER'S LUNCH. F.C. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
