I read the first book by Burdett and loved it. I found this one equally as interesting and complex. I love the interweaving of the Thai world and all its beautiful complications with that of the American/1st world ideals. The main character, a buddist Thai detective, is endearing and engaging, even while subtely insulting the American patrons in his mother's gentlemen's club. Even the police corruption and Thai underworld operations seem intricate and subdued, tightly controlled by Thai social structure. If you are looking for something different, this is it. A great murder mystery in an amazing setting.
