Colin Cotterill

Discover the surprising and comical journey of an acclaimed mystery author through his candid and self-deprecating memoir.

In this delightfully unreliable and illustrated memoir, acclaimed mystery author Colin Cotterill rummages through his warped diaries for a candid, self-deprecating romp through his life—from suburban London childhood mishaps and hitchhiking across 1970s America to globe-trotting teaching gigs and settling in Laos. Creator of the beloved Dr. Siri Paiboun and Jimm Juree crime series, Cotterill reveals the absurd path to becoming a bestselling, Dagger Award-winning writer—with hilarious lessons on what (and what not) to do along the way.

If you like Colin's novels, grab this to understand the man—at least a little bit.
