Back Cover

Falling in love can be the death of you. And for some young girls in Dr Siri's neck of the woods, it actually is. Some unscrupulous soul is wooing, marrying and murdering them on their wedding nights. Siri and his team are determined to discover who and why. When a local madman disappears, their troubles multiply. How do you trace an itinerant mute? Everyone has a theory, but it's up to Siri to figure out where he could be, and it's going to take him to the most unlikely place of all.

Review

'Cotterill's novels have richer plots than Alexander McCall Smith's African detective stories, but the same comic charm' Sunday Times. * Sunday Times *'...an odd sort of joy to read … his love of south-east Asia is everywhere evident, lending his writing an elegance and poignancy - beautiful exotic imagery, a pleasing wry patter to his characters' speech. The series has been commended for its humanity and intrigue and the latest instalment won't disappoint' City AM. * City AM *'Witty dialogue and engaging characters, especially the irrepressible Siri, who becomes more lovable with each appearance. The combination of humour, social commentary and a clever mystery make this one of the most enjoyable books I've read all year' Sunday Telegraph. * Sunday Telegraph *
