The Woman Who Wouldn't Die | Colin Cotterill
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The long-awaited follow-up to 2011's Slash & Burn. In a small Lao village, a very strange thing has happened. A woman was shot and killed in her bed during a burglary; she was given a funeral and everyone in the village saw her body burned. Then, three days later, she was back in her house as if she'd never been dead at all. But now she's clairvoyant, and can speak to the dead. That's why the long-dead brother of a Lao general has enlisted her to help his brother uncover his remains, which have been lost at the bottom of a river for many years. Lao national coroner Dr. Siri Paiboun and his wife, Madame Daeng, are sent along to supervise the excavation. It could be a kind of relaxing vacation for them, maybe, except Siri is obsessed with the pretty undead medium's special abilities, and Madame Daeng might be a little jealous. She doesn't trust the woman for some reason?is her hunch right? What is the group really digging for at the bottom of this remote river on the Thai border? What war secrets are being covered up?

Perfect way to end the weekend - spending time with Dr. Siri and Daeng and the gang. One thing I loved about this entry on the series is that we get some of Daeng‘s history - and it‘s quite the history. Other characters get to step up with a bigger role like Dtui and Geung. I‘ve so enjoyed seeing this series evolve over the years. This is another entry in my goal of catching up on my favorite series. Highly recommended!
