About this listen

 Laos, 1979: Dr. Siri Paiboun, the twice retired ex-National Coroner of Laos, receives an unmarked package in the mail. Inside is a handwoven pha sin, a colorful traditional skirt worn in northern Laos. A lovely present, but who sent it to him, and why? And, more importantly, why is there a severed human finger stitched into the sin's lining? Siri is convinced someone is trying to send him a message and won't let the matter rest until he's figured it out. He finagles a trip up north to the province where the sin was made, not realizing he is embarking on a deadly scavenger hunt. Meanwhile, the northern Lao border is about to erupt into violence—and Dr. Siri and his entourage are walking right into the heart of the conflict.©2015 Colin Cotterill (P)2015 Recorded Books Crime Fiction Historical International Mystery & Crime Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime China

Come back Nigel Anthony! Another good Siri tale ruined by a truly awful narration. Such a shame

Great Siri... Awful narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I found the narration weakened the storyline, too 'sing along' for myself though others may feel differently. Just wasn't to my taste.

Reasonable plot let down by the telling

What happened to the first narrator?? This one is so boring and flavourless that he has totally spoilt the story. He’s even got the name of the main character wrong!!!! His name is ‘Siri’ not ‘Silly’. He could have at least got that right!!!!

Dull, Dull, Dull

The narration was appalling. There was no characterisation and no phrasing. Almost impossible to follow.

Ruined by narration

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Just one of the worst narrators I have heard on Audible, very little intonation or characterisation to my mind, and not a patch on Nigel Anthony who has performed the other books in the Colin Cotterill series and is, for me, the voice of Dr Siri.

Horrendous Narrator - where is Nigel Anthony?

It is such a pleasure to hear a new Dr. Siri book and this was an entertaining, engrossing story. Audible please bring out more of Colin Cotterill's Dr. Siri stories.

Wonderful Dr. Siri ...

Really enjoyed previous Dr Siri stories, but why was the narrator changed. Unfortunately the narrator of this book is so monotonous that he detracts from the story.
Real shame

Good story, awful narration. Such a shame after the previous reader. Sorry Mr Chafers but not good enough.

Oh what a shame!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I love all Colin Cotterils books and the previous narrator was excellent. However I found this one really poor, particularly his pronunciation of Siri as Silly, just couldn't continue to listen.

Annoying narration

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A better narrator would have improved this rating immensely.

Would you be willing to try another book from Colin Cotterill? Why or why not?

Yes there's a lot more to be had.

Would you be willing to try another one of Clive Chafers’s performances?

I would rather be dragged down the Mekong river by my ankles from a Yak cargo plane than give mr chafers another bite of the cherry.
