The Jimm Juree series follows a journalist who trades her big-city crime beat for a family-run resort in rural southern Thailand, only to discover that violent crime finds her wherever she goes. Starting with Killed at the Whim of a Hat (2011), the series combines murder investigation with broad comedy and a cast of memorable family members.
Cotterill brings the same light touch he uses in the Dr. Siri books, but the modern-day Thai setting gives Jimm’s stories a different energy. The five novels in the series feature increasingly absurd premises – from a body on a beach to a serial killer with theatrical flair – while keeping Jimm’s sharp journalistic instincts at the center.
