Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday March
6, 2018. We will be discussing The Coroner’s Lunch by Colin Cotterill.
This is the first book featuring Dr. Siri Paiboun. Siri is state pathologist in
the newly communist country of Laos.
The book summary is, “Laos, 1978: Dr. Siri Paiboun, a
72-year-old medical doctor has unwillingly been appointed the national coroner
of the new socialist Laos. His lab is underfunded, his boss is incompetent, and
his support staff is quirky, to say the least. But Siri’s sense of humor gets
him through his often frustrating days. When the body of the wife of a
prominent politician comes through his morgue, Siri has reason to suspect the
woman has been murdered. To get to the truth, Siri and his team face government
secrets, spying neighbors, victim hauntings, Hmong shamans, botched romances,
and other deadly dangers. Somehow, Siri must figure out a way to balance the
will of the party and the will of the dead.”
We will be meeting in the Second Floor Meeting Room at 7:00
pm.
