About this listen
When a blind, retired dentist is run down by a logging truck as he crosses the road to post a letter, Dr Siri Paiboun, official and only coroner of Laos, finds him faced with his most explosive case yet. The dentist’s mortal remains aren’t nearly as intriguing as the letter in his pocket. Written in invisible ink and encrypted, the letter presents Dr Siri with an irresistible challenge. Enlisting the help of his old friend, Civilai, now a senior member of the Laos politburo; Nurse Dtui (‘Fatty’); Phosy, a police officer; and Aunt Bpoo, a transvestite fortune-teller, Dr Siri soon finds himself on the trail of an international plot to overthrow the government of Laos.

Nigel Anthony is the perfect Dr Siri
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Crime novels take their readers into new worlds and we travel with Colin Cotterill and his characters to Communist Laos in the 1970's. Its a wonderful new setting that Cotterill seems to know well.The main character of Dr Siri is warm and human, and his spiritual adventures are a seamless part of his being.
What other book might you compare Anarchy and Old Dogs to, and why?
It is unique.
What does Nigel Anthony bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Nigel Anthony captures Dr Siri's voice perfectly.
Any additional comments?
I am sad that more recent Siri books are now read by the very formal voice of Clive Chafers who doesn't do justice to the stories or the characters.
