I am a big fan of Cotterill's Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery series which ended with The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot. This latest book takes place in Thailand with entirely new characters, Supot, a mail carrier with the Thai Royal Mail and Ali, Supot's buddy who runs a video store. The pair spend their evenings watching classic films in the store's back room. When they discover an unknown film "Bangkok 2010" about a dystopian future Thailand they are enthralled by it. The duo sets out to find out the source of this "masterpiece" only to find those who don't want it to be found. Unfortunately, I found this story hard to get into and then rather disappointing once I did. It just didn't have charm and humor of Cotterill's other series.
