Have had this on my bookshelf for yonks. Now finally got time to register it - and hopefully read it it too.


This series kickoff is an embarrassment of riches: Holmesian sleuthing, political satire and droll comic study of a prickly late bloomer -

Cotterill has a wonderful sense of farce...a delightful book - Sydney Morning Herald

Cotterill's depiction of this exotic, troubled country is fascinating, and his light touch makes Siri, with his humanity and strange dreams, very appealing - The Guardian

The story is good, the characters interesting, the hero delightful and the setting fascinating: a find - The Literary Review witty novel sharply captures the confusion after the revolution, and the hero, at turns cynical and humane, is an absolute diamond - Daily Telegraph

It's time to let this book go. Hope it finds a new reader and a new temporary home before being re-released again.

I love reading where books end up -and what other readers thought of the book (good and bad!) - so do please take time to make a journal entry if you possibly can. Appreciate that!

Well well well, once again I come across with a book from STF 😁 Didn't buy this one though, so it's waiting for a keen reader in Kontti (again!)!
