Members eeyore Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Some time ago Lucky et al. recommended the Bangkok mystery/thriller series of novels by Timothy Hallinan over at the other site. I just finished reading his latest novel in the series, The Queen of Patpong. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The middle part of the novel flashes back to Rose's life as a village girl in Isaan and her subsequent migration to Bangkok where she takes on life as a bar girl and later meets her future husband, Poke Raferty. It's a captivating and riveting tale. I'm no literary critic but I think it beats his previous novels hands down. It's available in ebook formats from several vendors. Highly recommended for Thailand enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucky Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think the dish on Oz is probably in the Thai-ing The Knot thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
