Title: Buddha mind, East-West mystery
Review: This is a great read, particularly for the reader who has been to Bangkok - a mysterious, dark yet lovely city, perfect for mystery writers but which has produced no truly good English-language detective stories to date that I know of ("The Big Mango" - published in Bangkok - was disappointing, even for a first attempt). What I have enjoyed the most about Burdett is not just his plot, but the writer's ability to portray the inner workings of the Thai mentality for westerners, as well as accurately describing the sights and sounds of various neighborhoods in the City of Angels. There is a nice balance of hidden details in the story that show the author's attentiveness to nuances of Thai culture (e.g. that the now-departed Pichai's favorite music was Carabao) without getting too bogged down in trivia. Kudos for bringing this city to life, and creating a unique and interesting protagonist. I am looking forward to reading Burdett's next Bangkok novel.
