title: The Marriage Tree
author:  Christopher G. Moore 
description: <div>&quot;The plight of the Rohingya refugees has been documented many times, but never dramatised like this.... [W]hen a novelist brings his powers of description and sense of empathy to bear on such a subject, the wholehearted tragedy of these crimes against humanity hits home in a powerful way. The opening is riveting ... The plotting is taut and the pacing sharp.&quot;</div><div>--Jim Algie, <i>The Nation</i></div><br> <div>&quot;<i>The Marriage Tree</i> is a top tier crime novel set in a top tier city, Bangkok, to be enjoyed by crime fiction readers everywhere.&quot;</div><div>--Kevin Cummings, <i>Chiang Mai City News</i></div><br /><br /><div>&quot;[<i>The Marriage Tree</i>] will keep the reader up at night, though, as the action is fast-paced and full of enough twists to foment insomnia. For readers who loved <i>Missing in Rangoon</i>, this follow-on book provides something of a final resolution.&quot;<br>--wowais.com<br><br><br>"For those who have 'met' Vinny before, you will know what to expect - a fast, racy and very believable plot with excellent dialogue and several twists in the tail and set in the Bangkok we all know, with many recognizable landmarks.</div><div>--Lang Reid,<i>Pattaya Mail</i></div>
