re: John Burdett

If anyone here has not heard of or read John Burdett's three Thai mysteries: Bangkok 8, Bangkok Tattoo, and his current Bangkok Haunts, I urge you to do so...

RainTaxi online has an interview with him here:
Thailand and Ghosts

I've almost bought the first book about a dozen times. I guess it's about time I get off the fence and just bring it home.

Yes yes yes! I think you'll enjoy it. Read it and report back!

I reviewed the first two books at Strange Horizons (here and here), and just recently picked up the UK paperback of Bangkok Haunts.

Smart reviews. Curious to read what you think of the new one.

Thanks, Ellen. And thanks for the link to the interview; Burdett's a terrifically interesting guy. If you're interested, Rick Kleffel has done some audio interviews with him for The Agony Column.
