Critically acclaimed, nationally best-selling author John Burdett has earned starred reviews for the fast-paced action, snappy dialogue, and gritty realism of his thrilling tales starring Royal Thai police detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep. In this vibrant and witty novel, devout Buddhist Sonchai relies on his karma to guide him through the seamy underbelly of Bangkok as he pieces together the scattered clues of a complex mystery.
Who knew that Bangkok 8 and Bangkok Tattoo were just the warm-up acts? As vibrantly as those sizzling thrillers captured the exotic flavor of crime and corruption in Thailand s capital city, John Burdett s Bangkok Haunts opens up new avenues of awe.

Bangkok Haunts (Sonchai Jitpleecheep Series #3)
John Burdett is not a great writer to be sure... but an engaging one. You feel he's pushing you through his roller coasters instead of taking you along for the ride. The dialogue is catastrophically didactic and screams for an Editor with steel toed shit-kicker to tattoo John's arse. The damn thing is, I enjoy these reads anyway. Burdett's a strong plotter and doesn't go for the conventional neatly wrapped endings of your average thriller / mystery.
His FBI character Kimberly is poorly developed and superfluous until further notice. Sanchai, our lead detective is half travel guide, half Buddhism for Dummies puppet and lovable all the same... until he's not... but for whatever reason I love him anyway. I'll be reading every book in this series despite the obvious flaws. These books are guilty over-written pleasures that make me yearn for a trip to Thailand.
