One of my favourites, now reading it for the second time. Evocative story. I felt transported to Ethiopia and into the lives of the characters. The section in America is an eye-opener on discrimination in medicine, not only for the patients but for the medical staff as well.One of my favourites, now reading it for the second time.

This latest Flavia is more like the original ones - more entertaining than the past two. Fun to find out more about Dogger. The wrap up seemed hastily put together, however.

Fascinating science on the epigenetics of anxiety, which demonstrates that there is a genetic component involved, and it is not simply nurture which produces an anxious individual. The sub-title "...and how to break the cycle" implies a little too much hope for change for most anxious people, in my opinion, except during the first year of life.Fascinating science on the epigenetics of anxiety, which demonstrates that there is a genetic component involved, and it is not simply nurture which produces an anxious individual.

This latest of the Siri Paiboun series is not as compelling as many of the earlier ones. I miss the supernatural element that runs through the earlier books, which were also funnier. And I especially miss the character of Laos itself, and it's neighbours - Cambodia and Vietnam. That said, the series is one of my all time favourites.This latest of the Siri Paiboun series is not as compelling as many of the earlier ones.

This is the perfect novel for those who like mystery, history and different cultures. And for those who are tired of the heavy psychological angst of the modern mystery genre. I loved it!
