The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill

4.0

I can recommend this one for its interesting setting: Laos just after the Communist takeover. The protagonist is loveable. He is an elderly doctor who is roped in to being the Chief Coroner. Good supporting cast. I hesitated to give four stars (am keeping five for the ones that knocked it out of the park) because it does have a deep streak of mysticism running through it and I am most definitely not a fan. But it actually worked and I was able to choke it down.
