Members eeyore Posted September 28, 2010 Members 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
