If anyone is curious, I wanted to know if Burdett was known in "old" Fiction, but he's not there anywhere except in the long list of series authors. I refer to it there as an excellent series but have no idea of who told me it was excellent...It again came to my attention when the new one came out, Vulture Peak, but I like to start at the beginning of a series. (I'm on page 90)

Anyway, I put it in DU3 search, and found you and Burdett in a serious topic discussion and didn't know if you'd bother to come here. Didn't know if you'd get my post if the host there decided to pitch it out as off-topic...

argyl, I don't think you've been here before, and it's time you did come. I loved your input on Burdett and will read them all...

Never been there, but books like Colin Cotterell's series about Laos (Dr. Siri, coroner) and Timothy Hallinan's Thailand series have made me a fan of Asian mysteries....They are listed in the location index here: http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/

The site has a genre index and I think that both Cotterell's and Burdett's might even qualify as "humorous mysteries."

Thank you for your reply, and I will be reading all of his books.
