Murder at the House of Rooster Happiness

“A charming mystery” featuring a nurse ethicist turned amateur sleuth investigating serial murders in a Thai hospital is “a delight” (Vaseem Khan, author of the Baby Ganesh Detective Agency series).

Meet Ladarat Patalung—the first and only nurse detective in Thailand. Two nights ago, a young woman brought her husband into the emergency room of the Sriphat Hospital in Thailand, where he passed away. A guard thinks she remembers her coming in before, but with a different husband — one who also died. Ladarat Patalung, for one, would have been happier without a serial murderer—if there is one—loose in her hospital. Then again,she never expected to be a detective in the first place.

And now, Ladarat has no choice but to investigate . . .

The first novel in a captivating series by David Casarett, M.D.
