The case is taken out of the hands of the local police and all Jimm Juree's crime-reporting instincts resurface. As if this wasn't enough excitement an abbot is murdered at the nearby Feuang Fa Temple – and he's wearing a rather incongruous orange hat. Life looks as though it is at least going to be quiet and peaceful – until Old Mel decides that he's going to have a well on his plantation and hits a VW camper van complete with two skeletons one of whom is wearing an orange hat rather than water. Jimm's sister, who used to be her brother, has chosen to stay in the city, where she lives her life online and not always on the right side of the law. Mair, her daughter Jimm and son Arny along with Granddad Jah have to try and grub a living out of the Gulf Bay Lovely Resort and Restaurant. Forget all about the up-market resorts like Phuket where the money goes. Jimm Juree was a crime reporter, just a heartbeat away from getting the job of her dreams when family circumstances forced her to quit her job and move to a fishing village on the Gulf of Siam. Summary: Well-written crime story based in Southern Thailand with a feisty heroine, good supporting cast and a neat story.
