Shortly thereafter an abbot at a local Buddhist temple is viciously murdered, with the temple's monk and nun the only suspects. So when a van containing the skeletal remains of two hippies, one of them wearing a hat, is inexplicably unearthed in a local farmer's field, Jimm is thrilled. When Jimm is forced to follow her family to a rural village on the coast of Southern Thailand, she's convinced her career-maybe her life-is over. Jimm Juree was a crime reporter for the Chiang Mai Daily Mail with a somewhat eccentric family-a mother who might be drifting mentally a grandfather-a retired cop-who rarely talks a younger brother obsessed with body-building, and a transgendered, former beauty pageant queen, former older brother. Set in present day rural Thailand, Cotterill is as sharp and witty, yet more engaging and charming, than ever before. Now, with this new series, starting with Killed at the Whim of a Hat, Cotterill is poised to break into the mainstream. With worldwide critical acclaim, Colin Cotterill is one of the most highly regarded "cult favorite" crime writers today.
