Long-term Bangkok resident and former New Orleans cop Bob Turtledove has the knack of getting people out of difficult situations.

So when a young man from Utah goes missing in Bangkok, his parents are soon knocking on Bob’s door asking for help.

And he learns that even in the Land of Smiles, people can have murder on their minds.

Bangkok Bob and the Missing Morman. Anyone who has lived in the Far East will enjoy this story of an ex pat American living in Thailand with his Thai wife--antique dealer on weekdays, detective the rest of the time. An engaging picture of Bangkok and various sides Thai life today.

Case of the missing Mormon. The story plot itself was good, but while reading this I got the distinct impression that it was written in a hurry and probably for a market such as this. First, the defects: This would have definitely benefitted from an editor going over it. Lots of glaring errors in spelling, punctuation, capitalization and such. As such, many too numerous to enumerate, but easy to find on almost each page, sometimes to the point of distracting from the story itself. In reading the whole story, the feeling crept in that the goal was to get 250 pages out, and craftsmanship was not a particular concern. The author's relationship to the facts about Mormonism were pretty sketchy, and could have benefitted from some more research. As an example, Mormonism is not Christianity, and bears as much resemblance to same as a bird to a goat. Both religions, and that's about where it stops. Second, what strengths the story had were based more on that it was an entertaining read, although without much mystery, the twists and turns were more narrative than thought provoking. Several characters were developed to the point we enjoyed them, namely the detective policeman poker player friend and the wife herself. The story has a lot of potential but as previously stated could strongly benefit from a re-write, questionable as to whether it was worth $4.95.....

Bangkok Bob and the Missing Mormon. I enjoyed the storyline, good characters and dialog. Some good proof reading would make the read a lot better. Too many typos and repeated words. I'll be reading more Leather. I hope they have been proofread better.

Good, not great. Perhaps I am unfairly rating this book as a person who understands Thailand and its idiosyncrasies- therefore the ‘spoon feeding’ of little snippets of language and facts were superfluous (for me). That said, I did enjoy the character building of Bob and I would hope for a Bangkok Bob series to be built on this preliminary novel. For me (and I’m in no way a quick reader) this book was far too short; after a 3 hour plane trip and a short lay by the pool I was finished, although I must say I wanted more. The overwhelming feeling that I am left with is to give a massive ‘thumbs down’ to whoever (or ‘whatever‘) proof read this novel, I do not recall ever coming across so many contextual, grammatical, syntax, or indeed the myriad of other errors; in any book that I have ever read: sHame onyou ! It is honestly a point of great distress for a lover of our rich and beautiful language that such a huge number of mistakes can accompany a book all the way to print. I firmly doubt that the original transcript held anywhere near as many. Please do better and we will keep buying your produce. Marcus Berry.

Bancock Bob and the missing Mormon. Quite a good and amusing story.... Loads of typing errors though
