For me: The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill.

This is the first book of the Dr. Siri forensic mysteries. Back when co-host scarletwoman was recommending this series she did advise me to start with the first one and then read them in order as much as possible, so that is my plan.

Here is the Wiki Plot Summary:

Despite a total lack of training, an utter dearth of experience and a complete absence of inclination, Dr. Siri Paiboun has just been appointed state coroner for the Lao People's Democratic Republic. It's 1976, the royal family has been deposed, the professional classes have fled and the communists have taken over. And 72-year-old Siri - a communist for convenience and a wry old reprobate by nature - has got the coroner's job because he's the only doctor left in Laos.

But when the wife of a Party leader is wheeled into the morgue and the bodies of tortured Vietnamese soldiers start bobbing to the surface of a Laotian lake, all eyes turn to the new coroner. Faced with official cover-ups and an emerging international crisis, Siri will be forced to enlist old friends, tribal shamans, forensic deduction, spiritual acumen and some good old-fashioned sleuthing before he can discover quite what's going on.

I enjoyed listening to James Patterson's 3rd Degree, a tale of terrorism in America. I liked that it had music and sound effects. Reminded me of listening to old radio shows.

Now I'm listening to A Voice from the Field by Neal Griffin, just out this year. I grabbed this CD because I liked the cover photo. Turns out it's a pretty decent suspense story. White supremacists and human traffickers in Wisconsin being hunted down by Detective Tia Suarez.

What are you hunting down to read this week?

Wishing you all a peaceful day.
