Why read it?
1 author picked Everyone Burns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an entertaining and addictive suspense.
This is a craftily written tale of murder against the breathtaking backdrop of the Thai Island of Samui (the Land of Smiles). The blend of local traditions and colorful characters lured me in until I could smell the spices and hear the beeping of car horns.
I love characters that are quirky and unpredictable, and private detective David Braddock is just that. He’s a man battling with his past and bad habits, keeping the Chief of Police satisfied and solving the murders before he gets sidelined by his superiors.
From Kathleen's list on suspense with twisted and unpredictable plots.
