Order of Dr. Siri Paiboun Books
Dr. Siri Paiboun serves as the protagonist of Colin Cotterill's captivating mystery series. This British-Australian author has created a compelling character who finds himself thrust into an unexpected role in 1970s Laos. Following the Communist Pathet Lao party's rise to power, Dr. Paiboun is designated as the country's national coroner—a position he receives primarily because of his medical training in Paris and his status as the sole remaining candidate with any relevant qualifications.
Cotterill launched this engaging series in 2004 with The Coroner's Lunch, and readers continue to enjoy new installments in this ongoing collection. The books follow both their publication sequence and chronological storyline, making them easy to follow for series devotees.
