Perhaps the best written crime fiction novels set in Thailand are penned by authors who have lived in the country long enough to understand its complex social structure, customs, and superstitions. Crime fiction is an exciting genre which becomes even more intriguing when set in an exotic locale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-51560990754998673972008-01-24T18:20:00.000+10:302008-01-24T18:20:00.000+10:30If you read Jo Nesbo, apparently there is a novel ...If you read Jo Nesbo, apparently there is a novel published about 1998 called COCKROACHES (Kakerlaken)set in Thailand, but you need to be able to read it in German, or French, but it is not available in English<BR/>I read a translated review.<BR/>See what you can find by Googling Nesbo ThailandKerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-31731206021450807292008-01-24T07:19:00.000+10:302008-01-24T07:19:00.000+10:30There are John Burdett's "Bangkok" books.
