About this listen

A fascinating mystery featuring Ladarat Patalung, the first and only nurse detective in Thailand.

As a nurse ethicist, Ladarat Patalung works to save the lives of her patients and to make sure the ones she can't save have at least the dignity of a "good death".

But when wealthy foreign travelers start to go missing all across Thailand, Detective Wiriya Mookjai fears that a killer is at large and turns to Ladarat for help.

The travelers have nothing in common except for brief stays at a mysterious resort known as the Magic Grove Hotel....

ok

Look,was it great? No. Was it derivative? Wildly. But it wasn't thaaat bad. It was just very, very slow
And uneventful. And ethically ambiguous. And, I'll admit it, it's always just a bit weird reading a book about a female POC written by a white man, particularly one from an entirely different culture.

The bits of Thai culture that peppered the story were probably the most interesting parts. That and the dog.

I just feel like it was trying very hard to emulate The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, from the tone (it doesn't compare) to the type of crimes (very human, local...) to the fact that the female lead relies, or at least often refers to, a text by a white "expert."

I didn't hate it, but I had really hoped to like it more.
