Mystery Book Group - The Coroner's Lunch

Tuesday, February 152:30—3:30 PMZoomWeston Public Library87 School Street, Weston, MA, 02493

Do you enjoy reading and discussing mystery novels? You'll find good company in a friendly group of readers who meet monthly via Zoom.

This month we will discuss author Colin Cotterill's novel The Coroner's Lunch:

A year or so after the takeover of Laos by the Marxist-Leninist Pathet Lao in 1975, French-educated Dr. Siri Paiboun is appointed state coroner . At first under the thumb of an inept Vientiane judge, the 72-year-old Siri performs autopsies on two suspiciously dead bodies in a morgue with woefully inadequate laboratory supplies; but then his curiosity leads to personal investigations—especially when higher-ups whisk bodies away and steal autopsy reports. Then the bodies of at least two Vietnamese are found in the reservoir, and Siri's true skill emerges. This promising series start features an engaging protagonist, frequent wry humor, and a stark, alien locale. 

Copies of the book will be available in advance of the meeting date. 

Registration for this event has now closed.
