A Real Charmer

Linda:
I have just read a cozy mystery by Colin Cotterill called Killed at the Whim of a Hat. It is the first in a new series and promises to be a winner. In a similar style to the No. One Ladies Detective Agency, this book is full of local charm, humor, and culture. Ex crime reporter Jimm Juree, a twenty something woman in southern Thailand becomes embroiled in the rare killing of a Buddhist monk. She sees this murder as her way back into crime writing and resolves to find the real killer because the police do not seem inclined to examine the evidence. Feeling burdened by her forced move to the south, her aging mother, and an unwanted suitor, Jimm embarks on an adventure that may solve more than one crime.
