Review:
From the Back Cover:
"The Jimm Juree series is off to at least as good a start as the Dr. Siri one was. It has the potential to be even better." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Excellent ... Cotterill ... combines a wry narrative voice with an appealing picture of a world unfamiliar to most Americans." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"An ebullient series kickoff." --Kirkus Reviews
"Cotterill's fiction has been compared to Alexander McCall Smith's, presumably because it also has a colourful location. It is far more complex and perceptive." --The Independent
"A procession of memorable local characters.... By coming up with an original and entertaining new formula, this author reaffirms his creativity and versatility." --Japan Times
Welcome to Thailand.
When crime reporter Jimm Juree is forced to quit the city for a fishing village on the Gulf of Siam, she expects much in her life to change. Quiet will replace quick and, surely, crime will give way to calm. There goes the career, then.
Not a chance.
No sooner has she settled than a surprise discovery springs from a local well. Two skeletons: both wearing the signs of thirty years of decay, with one also wearing a hat. And, if this wasn't uncommon enough, a monk is soon killed in a neighbouring town.
Who are the skeletons? Who murdered the monk? Is there a connection?
Step forward Jimm Juree.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The launch of a brand new series by the internationally bestselling, critically acclaimed author of The Coroner's Lunch With worldwide critical acclaim, Colin Cotterill is one of the most highly regarded cult favorite crime writers today. Now, with this new series, starting with Killed at the Whim of a Hat, Cotterill is poised to break into the mainstream. Set in present day rural Thailand, Cotterill is as sharp and witty, yet more engaging and charming, than ever before. Jimm Juree was a crime reporter for the Chiang Mai Daily Mail with a somewhat eccentric family--a mother who might be drifting mentally; a grandfather--a retired cop--who rarely talks; a younger brother obsessed with body-building, and a transgendered, former beauty pageant queen, former older brother. When Jimm is forced to follow her family to a rural village on the coast of Southern Thailand, she's convinced her career--maybe her life--is over. So when a van containing the skeletal remains of two hippies, one of them wearing a hat, is inexplicably unearthed in a local farmer's field, Jimm is thrilled. Shortly thereafter an abbot at a local Buddhist temple is viciously murdered, with the temple's monk and nun the only suspects. Suddenly Jimm's new life becomes somewhat more promising--and a lot more deadly. And if Jimm is to make the most of this opportunity, and unravel the mysteries that underlie these inexplicable events, it will take luck, perseverance, and the help of her entire family. One of Library Journal's Best Mystery Books of 2011 Set in rural Thailand, "Killed at the Whim of a Hat" is the launch of a brand-new series by the internationally bestselling, critically acclaimed author of "The Coroner's Lunch."
