THE MISSING GUESTS OF THE MAGIC GROVE HOTEL Ethical Chiang Mai Detective, Book 2

Jolene Kim gives a measured narration of this Thai-based mystery, the second in the Ethical Chiang Mai Detective series by Casarett, an author who is a doctor when he's not writing. Kim's studied pace, with its noticeable pauses between sentences, may encourage some listeners to play the audiobook at a higher speed, yet it matches the unhurried atmosphere of the book. In it, nurse ethicist Ladarat Patalung teams once again with Detective Wiriya Mookjai to discover why rich tourists--all of whom stayed at the Magic Grove Hotel--have gone missing. Full of Chiang Mai life, if not much mystery, the audiobook will please lovers of cozies, who will appreciate Kim's light voice and deliberate lack of speed.
