You know, I should really have loved this, because it's got such a strong Buddhist piece to it. In fact, I learned of it from Joseph Goldstein when he mentioned it in one of his dharma talks. I listened to it as an audiobook, and I did not love the narrator. Also, it did seem a little dark and probably a little more violent than I would like. It sounded like it was written well, might go back to it at some point in the future, but not right now.

Noir story where a Thai cop & American FBI agent attempt to get to the bottom of the murder of an American Marine in Thailand. I generally found the characters interesting & compelling, especially the protagonist, Sonchai. However, there was some characterization that I found rather confusing. The plot itself was engaging, though could also be confusing at times because it tended to meander. From what I have read online, the author has a good understanding of Thai culture, which I think is important for him to tell such a story. Overall, I enjoyed this & will likely read the other books in the series.… (mais)
