The book is a prequel to mystery novels featuring Jimm Juree, a journalist and sleuth, that readers like me have discovered. This tale takes place in northern Thailand where Jimm is on assignment as an extra on a Hollywood movie set. Accompanied by her brothers, Sissy and Arny, and a Burmese friend, Khin, a history professor, the four find themselves involved in a mystery surrounding the movie. One reviewer described the siblings as âa fat girl, a bodybuilder, and a transsexual.â

While it hilarious in places, a director is murdered, much seems to go wrong on the set, and the four have someone shooting at them. Sissy, Jimm and Arny become acquainted with Hollywood stars and Khin gets them to help look for treasure buried by King Mangral seven hundred years earlier. It's delightfully humorous even as the four duck bullets and avoid the police who always seem to appear when anything goes wrong. The police seem efficient, but nothing really gets solved. How do they seem to know that they are needed?

How can a mystery be so entertaining? Read this one and see for yourself. This is the second humorous mystery that I've read in the past few weeks. Great fun.
