What They're Saying
Critics 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 *
