book 56

last one! I'm all caught up now.

Bangkok 8, John Burdett
rating:


It took me about fifty pages or so to get into Burdett's style, but once I was in, I was in. This novel is about a Thai policeman whose partner is killed in a very strange way early on. It turns out that his death is all wrapped up in this mystery, which drives the remainder of the narrative. I'm not sure if I'd say it's full of twists, really, but I definitely wouldn't have guessed the outcome at the beginning, or even halfway through. I think I'll pick up the sequel soon.

On another note, this is the only book I've ever read entirely in airports/on airplanes.
