This year, I am going to let just a taste of romance into my Valentine’s Day post. No, I am still not interested in the love at first sight or romantic date tropes, but I thought I would feature some slow-burn romance in the mystery genre.

Thirty-Three Teeth by Colin Cotterill is the second book that I have read in the Dr. Siri Paiboun Mystery series. (And though it is the second book in the series, the other one that I have read is actually #4, Anarchy and Old Dogs.) This mystery series is very different from any I have read before. It is steeped in the Lao setting and culture, with lots of fascinating plant names (like dog fart flowers and bull testicle trees), political red tape, and history.

I am currently reading Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty. What a fascinating book! While it is a murder mystery, you don’t even know who has been killed or under what circumstances. You just know that one of the parents was killed during the (primary/elementary) school’s Trivia Night. The book takes you through the various conflicts and secrets that have been festering in each of the women’s and men’s lives over the past several months, building up to what happened at the Trivia Night?
