Omg!!!!! I am so curious now who are going to play the main leads! I am so ready for another ship!!!! And more sleepless nights ☺️

(Read and reviewed on 19th March 2020)
I simply do not care how this one ends because this book is just simply good.
I am so glad I picked this book instead of forever giving up on psychological thriller/mystery/suspense altogether (because of having read too many average reads of such!).
The plot is real intense and gripping. The characters are developed so well. And the best part? You do not know who to trust.
I wish this book is made into a series. It's bone-chilling at times and you really feel helpless. The romance is a bit instant but nevertheless you will crave for more. Why are such good books not made into a TV series or a movie already?

*It's a full fledged Thai novel.

I maybe slightly biased with this books as I listened to the unofficial audiobook and I loved that audiobook.

First of all this is the second book of Sammon I read thus I had time to get used to the slow burn romance in her books. Second of all, I loved the fact the author does not emphasize on the romance but rather the mystery aspect of it. Especially compared to Triage this novel had a much more serious case involved in it. In all honesty the reason I picked this up was because of the TV adaptation. I truly did love Triage (which was the first book of Sammon's that I picked up) but compared to that this slightly fell short. Not in any way am I saying that this was bad, this is just a comparison. If I had to pick what really made this better than many BLs out there is the fact that this took a very realistic turn in character development. More or less, Tan did fall head first in love with Bun, but it was Bun's realistic portrayal and emotional reactions that made this novel get higher rating. Rather than making it a sappy romance novel, the author fleshed out the characters well. In my head I had no-one but Max and Tul each time I was listening to the novel and visualized the whole story in my head with them in the characters and I ain't complaining.

Although the last few chapters had mostly the romantic progress of the two I really liked the last few sentences which really brought back the whole concept of the plot to square one. This did cement the fact that I will surely read other books of Sammon for sure.

มีทั้งชอบและชังนะคะเรื่องนี้

เอาชังก่อน เพราะโผล่มาตั้งแต่บทแรกๆ คือต้วเอก
มาปุ๊บ ก็งงปั๊บ เป็นหมอนิติเวช แต่ชอบเดาว่าผู้ร้ายเป็นใคร
แต่จริงๆ ไม่ใช่แค่เดา นางเล่นปักใจเชื่อ เชื่อแบบจริงจัง
มีบอกว่า เดามาร้อย ถูกทั้งร้อย เราก็แบบ มันใช่รึว้าหมอบรรณ

ทีนี้พอหมอปักใจละ การเดินเรื่องทีนี้ก็จะอยู่ที่คนนี้ล่ะ ไม่ไปไหน
เราเข้าใจว่าที่ต้องวาดภาพมาแบบนี้เพื่อให้เรื่องดำเนินไป แต่ก็แบบ
ชังหมอบรรณอ่ะ หมออคติ บวกกับ หมอหลอกผู้หญิง จริงๆแล้ว หมอก็หลอกผู้ชายด้วย
คือหมอหลอกลวง หมอเห็นแก่ตัว หมอไม่น่ารักเลย

แต่ ส่วนที่ทำให้ยังอ่านได้เรื่อยๆ ก็คือการดำเนินเรื่อง การค่อยๆ โผล่ปริศนามาทีละอย่าง สองอบ่าง การพลิกบท การเล่าเรื่องทำได้น่าตื่นเต้นดี อ่านแล้วทำให้อยากตามต่อไปเรื่อยๆ และ เรื่อย ๆ อันนี้คือส่วนที่ชอบ


ถ้าไม่ติดที่ไม่ชอบหมอเอาซะเลยนะ เรื่องนี้น่าจะอยูที่ 4 ดาวค่ะ

I was so excited when I came across this novel and its series adaptation. I'm a sucker for crime! Name a crime tv show and I've probably seen it. Also, I started watching crime shows when I was just a little girl (parenting gone wrong or right here?) but that kinda made me a bit "numb" to the genre now. Not a lot surprises me anymore because I have this "I've seen it all" feeling when it comes to this genre. That's also the reason why I don't really read crime books because I know that there's a high chance that I'll get disappointed. Though, I totally forgot about that when I saw that BL and crime were thrown together into one Thai novel. Manner of Death.

Three things that I like: BL, crime and Thai novels. This combination couldn't go wrong, right? Well.. I was wrong. When I said that BL and crime were thrown together into one novel, I literally meant thrown. I felt like it would have been better if it was either a crime book or a BL novel. Not the two of them together. This could have been a masterpiece if the entire novel wouldn't have been centered around the m/m relationship. Let's get more into detail.

This story is about a forensic pathologist, Dr. Bunnakit (Bun) who gets called to a crime scene for what looks like a suicide. Then the story takes off. One thing leads to another and Bun ends up investigating the case himself and it causes his life to be in danger. This sounds like a good story, right? It did start really good but while the story progressed, it went downhill for me.

Along the way Tan's character got introduced, a mysterious man who's a tutor. It was obvious from the start that Bun and Tan were going to end up together. Though, I felt really uncomfortable about their relationship most of the time because you could tell something was not right. It got to the point that I didn't even want them to end up together because the relationship didn't sit right with me. If it wasn't for the last couple of "redeeming" chapters, I would have felt like that still. But then again, I think that some of those "redeeming" chapters weren't necessary at all.

There was supposed to be a murder investigation going on but along the way it felt more like a love story between Bun and Tan instead of a crime novel. I feel like the novel started with a murder to make known that this is a crime novel. Though after that, the main couple started to get lovey-dovey with each other to the point that the murder investigation wasn’t the center anymore. And then at the end, it shortly got mentioned who the killer was and why they did it. It wasn’t explained in detail. Talking about anti-climax here? Like, MAJOR anticlimax. At least that’s how it felt like to me. To be honest, I’m pretty sure I just expected way too much from this. I think it was the plan all along to center this novel more around the relationshit (oop I mistyped that but I’m going to keep it because it does feel like that lol) than around the crime aspects. Yes, there were murders, yes there was investigating going on, yes there was crime but it all felt so plain to me.

As for Bun, pretty much everyone in the novel was saying how smart he is but it didn’t feel like that to me. For someone everyone says about that he’s so smart, he sure did make a lot of mistakes that a forensic pathologist isn’t supposed to make. I mean, trusting a murder suspect? For the love of god and people still call you smart? And then you’re surprised that the person turns out to be a bad guy. Like…Dude….? Also, I didn’t really like Bun’s personality. There were times that I really hated the things he said or did. As for Tan, I surprisingly loved his character. Though, there is so much that he did wrong too. If it wasn’t for me imagining MaxTul als TanBun, I’m pretty sure I would have disliked the novel even more.

After being let down by the crime aspects and the main couple, I put all my hope on the side couple. That and Sorawit. I was really excited about their story knowing that there was an extra chapter dedicated to them. To be honest, the extra chapter disappointed me too. I knew that I couldn’t expect much development due to it being just an extra chapter. They did a perfect job at developing their relationship in the series adaption but it kinda sucked in the novel. I felt like the only reason these boys were there was to have another BL couple. So that there would be another couple next to the main couple. The extra chapter didn’t do it for me and it would have been okay if it wasn’t included. I really felt like Sorawit and That were just thrown together so that people could have another couple to ship. I don’t like it when shipping is the only reason why a couple exists. It would have been okay if they had more chemistry or if their relationship development would have been better.

I started reading Manner of Death after watching three episodes of its series adaptation. I couldn't wait anymore to find out what happened next and who the killer was. I wish I didn't do that. To be honest, reading the novel took away the joy of watching the show, and that says a lot because I LOVE MaxTul. Though, they changed a lot compared to the novel and I'm really glad about that. This novel wasn't it for me.

No hay mejor combinación que ésta: BL y un crimen por resolver #AltaTension ♡

[A_ bookbound _soul · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars!

Don't get me wrong from the rating, I actually enjoyed reading Manner of Death a lot. But I gotta say that I prefer the tv adaptation more (the climax was loads better.)

I always enjoy reading the povs like that of Dr Bun where the mc isn't all naive and brainless.
One thing that I really loved were all the medical and forensic realated stuff in the book.

It felt like the book ended 50 pages before actually ending in terms of plot. This is where the show did better.

I feel like rewatching the show now....

อ่านจบเราก็สรุปว่าเรื่องนี้เป็นนิยายที่สนุกดีนะ
แต่มันไม่ได้ถึงขนาดดีเยี่ยมตามแรงอวยอ่ะ ก็คาดหวังไว้สูงหน่อย (ตามแรงอวย) แต่ก็ถือว่าเป็นนิยายที่ดีอ่ะ อ่านแล้วไม่เสียดาย อ่านแล้วเป็นนิยายมีของ เป็นนิยายวายที่เอาไปอวดชาวมักเกิ้ลได้

มาที่เนื้อเรื่อง เป็นอะไรที่ผิดจากที่คิดไปพอสมควร นึกว่าอารมณ์สืบสวนจากศพงี้ แต่เปล่า.. ออกแนวอาชญากรรม-ไล่ล่าที่มีมูลเหตุจากการชันสูตรศพนึงต่างหาก

เราชอบตอนหมอบรรณทำงาน มันให้ความรู้สึกว่านี่มันเป็นนิยายมีของอ่ะ อยากให้ขยายจุดนี้ออกไปมากๆ ตอนหมอบรรณทำงานนี่มีเสน่ห์มากๆ

++Spoiler Alert++
และมันมีติดอยู่นิดนึงว่า เราจะไปรักคนที่หลอกลวง ทำร้ายร่างกาย (เกือบ)พยายามฆ่า กักขังหน่วงเหนี่ยวเราได้ยังไงก่อนเอ่ย? เป็น Stockholm Syndrome หรอ ดังนั้นช่วงแรกที่หมอบรรณหวาดระแวงเขาคนนั้นเลยรู้สึกเรียลดี มันต้องเป็นแบบนี้แหละนะ แต่ถ้าเธอจะรักเขาชั้นก็จะบึนปากใส่หมอบรรณ เธอจะรักกับคนที่เคยทำร้ายเธอขนาดนั้นได้จริงเหรอ

Un libro sencillo de leer, con buenos giros de trama, que te dejan pensando en quién es el verdadero asesino. ✨

Mis suposiciones y teorías fueron casi correctas, aunque hubo algunos aspectos que si me sorprendieron de la resolución final. Siento que las respuestas a las inquietudes planteadas al principio, sorprendieron pero aun así creo que fueron simples, en comparación a la resolución que esperaba.
La pareja principal no me convencía al principio, luego fue mejorando, y al final me terminó gustando mucho.

Tiene un buen final, dejando todo abierto para la secuela y te deja enganchado.

Psdt. La serie me está gustado mucho. Hasta ahora (cap 3) está siendo una buena adaptación del libro, aunque toda adaptación tienen sus cambios.

The story is so good and the tension between the characters it's really interesting. Imagine being a doctor that wants to uncover the truth about his friend and someone else is trying to stop you from doing that 🤭

[Francesca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quando la CE ha annunciato la novel ero felicissima perché la serie mi era piaciuta molto.
Parto col dire che io amo i mistery romance e ho apprezzato moltissimo come l’autrice abbia delineato bene questa parte. Soprattutto la precisione di molte parti “tecniche” essendo che uno dei due protagonisti è un medico patologo.
•
La storia scorre molto velocemente, seguendo quel senso di urgenza che si ha quando si deve risolvere un'indagine. La trama ti porta fuori strada e l’assassino non è così scontato come sembra. In tutto questo abbiamo la storia d’amore che si sviluppa anche se non dovrebbe visto che Tann è il principale sospettato secondo il dottore Bunn.
•
Loro due non potrebbero essere più diversi, un freddo e razionale dottore che nasconde la sua sessualità e un irriverente insegnante con una doppia vita e una famiglia mafiosa alle spalle.
•
Mi è piaciuto molto come, alla fine, ci sia stato del tempo per i due protagonisti di mostrarsi e farci capire qualcosa in più di loro oltre all’indagine che occupa un buon 70% del romanzo.
•
L’inizio della storia d’amore è forse l’unica cosa che non mi ha convinto del tutto perché, personalmente, l’ho trovato troppo veloce. Avrei magari preferito un approfondimento sullo sviluppo dei loro sentimenti ma questo perché io amo molto lo slow slow burn.
•
Sicuramente una bella novel, per gli amanti della serie sarà bellissimo ritornare in quell’atmosfera e per chi non la conosce potrebbe essere un ottimo modo per approcciarsi.
Consigliata!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

# Manner of Death พฤติการณ์ที่ตาย / Sammon

บอกก่อนเลยว่าสนุกสมคำร่ำลือค่ะ เป็นวายที่มีเนื้อหา ข้อมูลแน่น เดินเรื่องสนุก มีเสน่ห์ในการเล่าเรื่อง ทั้งเล่าแบบตัดสลับเวลา และตัดสลับตัวละคร

ที่ชอบเป็นพิเศษคือความเทา ๆ ของตัวละคร ซึ่งทำให้ดูน่าสงสัยไปหมด เข้ากันได้ดีกับแนวสืบสวนสอบสวน อ่านไปหวาดระแวงไป เหตุการณ์มีพลิกกลับไปกลับมา จึงอ่านได้ไหลลื่น ไม่มีช่วงเบื่อ

โดยรวมแล้วคิดว่าขาดแค่อารมณ์ซาบซึ้งกินใจ หรือความลึกของมิติอารมณ์ นอกนั้นโอเคเลยค่ะ... ชอบ ๆ :)

事件が解決してもまだ結構ページ数残ってるからまた何か起きるのかと思ったら、後半はミステリーというよりほぼ恋愛小説だった。読み進めるにつれてそれぞれのキャラに人間味を感じてだんだん愛着が湧いてきた。

現在、過去、POVの切り替わりがちょっと分かりづらいけど、翻訳物としては読みやすかった。

Very dark, very dramatic -and very hot.
I love how these novels are all being adapted to series and ALSO translated for the western population. Although translations are not always as good as you expect (I mean fan translations are almost always decent), still we can enjoy these great stories and support $$ the authtors.

Eu amei o livro, as descrições muito bem feitas, porque claro, quem escreve é medica. O misterio muito bem logrado, tiveram partes que não esperava. E a mudança da narrativa também gostei muito.
Só não gostei muito do final, senti que foi esticado e innecesario para mim, algumas partes. Poderia ter concluido uns capítulos antes. Só isso baixou minha nota, mas todo o 80% do livro amei.

[Ana Sandoval Poveda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este libro es bastante sencillo, pero entretenido. Está escrito en forma cronológica y es poco lo que se deja de lado para retomarlo más adelante.
El caso, ya que es una novela en el que se trata un crimen, intenta ser complicado; pero no es realmente muy elaborado. Aún así, logra mantener la atención de la persona lectora.
El tema principal, desde mi punto de vista, es la relación entre los personajes principales. Esta está muy bien detallada y trata temas muy serios y actuales, como es el caso de la intolerancia ante las preferencias sexuales.
Fue muy entretenido de leer, pero creo que si no hubiera visto el drama (del mismo nombre) no lo habría leído y, tal vez, no lo habría disfrutado tanto.

Allora... Cosa dire di questo libro, se non che l'ho amato alla follia?
La storia mi ha presa fin dal primo istante. Il dottor Bunn è un noto medico legale del proprio paese, il quale nasconde le ferite di un passato che nessuno sembra conoscere. Ha da poco affrontato l'ennesima relazione andata a male con una sua collega e la sua vita sembra essere fin troppo piatta.
Le cose però cambiano quando il dottor Bunn, abituato a decifrare il linguaggio silenzioso dei cadaveri, si trova improvvisamente coinvolto in un’indagine che va ben oltre il suo ruolo professionale. Il corpo di una giovane donna viene trovato in circostanze sospette, la sua autopsia rivela dettagli inquietanti che mettono in discussione il verdetto di suicidio. Ma proprio mentre inizia a sollevare dubbi sulla causa della morte, qualcuno lo minaccia.
Da quel momento, la vita di Bunn si trasforma in un incubo. Un uomo misterioso si introduce in casa sua, lo aggredisce e gli ordina di alterare il rapporto autoptico. Ogni tentativo di cercare aiuto sembra essere inutile: la polizia potrebbe essere corrotta, e persino le persone a lui più vicine potrebbero non essere chi sembrano. In un gioco di specchi fatto di bugie, inganni e sottili minacce, Bunn è costretto a navigare un labirinto di pericoli, mentre un oscuro segreto legato alla sua stessa vita viene lentamente a galla. Ed è proprio questo ciò che mi è piaciuto maggiormente all'interno di questo racconto: tutto crea suspance e voglia di continuare a leggere.
Uno degli elementi più affascinanti del romanzo è il rapporto tra Bunn e Tann, l’ex fidanzato della vittima, che diventa al tempo stesso il principale sospettato e una figura enigmatica con cui Bunn instaura una relazione complessa e ambigua. La tensione tra i due è palpabile, in un mix di attrazione e diffidenza che aggiunge profondità alla narrazione. La loro dinamica è costruita con maestria, lasciando il lettore in bilico tra il desiderio di fidarsi e il sospetto che dietro ogni gesto si nasconda un secondo fine.
Bunn ha un carattere schivo, deciso, ma è anche molto intelligente. Ammetto che in molte cose mi sono rispecchiata parecchio in lui e ho avuto modo di averlo sempre più a cuore.
Tann al contrario, è ingenuo, è un tipo che agisce più con il cuore, che con la testa, tanto che spesso agisce anche impulsivamente mettendosi a rischio.
La scrittura si presenta diretta e incisiva, con descrizioni dettagliate che immergono il lettore nelle scene del crimine e nei tormenti interiori del protagonista. Il ritmo è serrato, con continui colpi di scena che ribaltano le certezze e costringono a riconsiderare ogni pista. Il romanzo esplora anche tematiche profonde come la corruzione del sistema giudiziario, il potere della manipolazione e le difficoltà di vivere la propria identità in un ambiente ostile.
Il finale è un crescendo di tensione che lascia il lettore senza fiato, con rivelazioni scioccanti e un senso di inquietudine che permane anche dopo aver chiuso il libro.
Se cercate un romanzo per chi ama i gialli psicologici e i noir dai toni intensi e provocatori, siete nel posto giusto. Ve lo straconsiglio.

[Emozioni fra le pagine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sempre grazie a PeonyTM Publishing è arrivato il romanzo che più attendevo da quando è stata annunciata l’acquisizione dei diritti, scritto da un medico e si vede dalla narrazione, ecco un romantic suspense davvero intrigante, vi presento Bunn e Tann.

Il Dr. Bunn è un giovane medico legale, preparato e scrupoloso, si presenta su un sospetto caso di suicidio che non lo convince per nulla, nella sua esperienza, certi dettagli non quadrano con la causa, così decide di approfondire.

Quando viene aggredito in casa sua e minacciato di morte se non falsificherà il referto il suo primo sospetto è per l’ex fidanzato della vittima, un certo Tann, professore molto apprezzato che ha aperto un istituto di recupero per ragazzi che hanno bisogno di un aiuto per proseguire con le scuole.

Tra i due volano scintille sin dalla prima scena, Tann è sospetto ma si offre di aiutare Bunn a scoprire la verità sulla morte della ex fidanzata, Bunn lentamente sembra iniziare a fidarsi ma c’è qualcosa che non gli permette di lasciarsi andare, anche se chiaramente Tann non è così etero come pensava, d’altronde non è l’unico a mentire…

"Gli raccontai delle informazioni fornite da Sorrawit e del fatto che avevo ottenuto il numero del fratello di Fai. «Ho provato a chiamarlo, ma il suo telefono è spento. Puoi provare a chiamarlo finché non risponde? Magari avrai più fortuna». Scrissi il numero sul suo foglio. Tann si accarezzò il mento, un gesto tipico quando rifletteva: «Mr. Black deve essere la chiave di tutto»."

Come sapete sono molto nuova del genere BL, ma questo romanzo lo bramavo da un anno, felice di averlo letto, una trama ben costruita, personaggi ben delineati e coerenti, un giusto mix tra emozioni e azione, perché pur essendoci del romance c’è anche un bel mistero da risolvere e un assassino da trovare.

Il Dr. Bunn mi è piaciuto perché è sempre pronto a dare una mano, a preoccuparsi per tutti quelli che gli stanno vicino, ha pochissimi amici ed è anche molto diffidente. Nasconde il vero se stesso perché è convinto che fingere di essere ciò che non è sarà più facile, un bel lavoro su se stesso.

Tann è un po’ l’uomo del mistero, abbiamo anche il suo punto di vista e così possiamo capire meglio cosa gli passa per la testa. Un insegnante molto apprezzato, una mente acuta, anche lui dovrà fare un bel percorso ma ho trovato il suo personaggio quasi più bello di Bunn stesso.

Se amate il genere che ve lo dico a fare, leggetelo subito, se come me vi siete appena approcciati e non vi dispiace un po’ di azione e momenti di dramma, fatevi trascinare tra dubbi, mistero e un pizzico di passione, la storia è incalzante, ho trovato pochissimi refusi, ringrazio davvero Lidia e la CE, spero che di questa talentuosa autrice, arrivi altro.

ซื้อเพราะปกกับพล็อตค่ะ แนวอย่างนี้ไม่ค่อยเห็นในนิยายวายเนอะ

เนื้อเรื่องดึงให้เรารู้สึกกดดันตามไปด้วย โดยใช้การเล่าแบบค่อยๆ แย้มพราย ตัดสลับอดีตกับปัจจุบันบ้าง

ความรู้สึกบีบคั้นสลับคลาย ตอนที่กำลังคิดว่าคงไม่มีอะไรแล้วละ เริ่มเนือยละ เรื่องก็บีบกลับ ให้กดดันใหม่

ใครคือคนร้าย ใครคือมิตรแท้ ความลับของแต่ละคนคืออะไร ระแวงไปหมด

ที่ทำให้เป็นอย่างนั้นส่วนหนึ่งเพราะบรรยากาศ แล้วมันก็เป็นเสน่ห์สำคัญในเรื่องเลย

ตัวหมอบรรณ เหมือนมีหลายบุคลิกในตัว ไม่ใช่แบบคนหลายบุคลิกนะ แต่เหมือนคนที่คุ้นเคยกับการทำอะไรที่ฝืนตัวเองบ่อยๆ แล้วซึมซับผสมเป็นตัวเองจนแยกไม่ออก จนทำให้ตัวตนที่เคยเป็นถูกกดลงไป ถูกหลงลืมไป ภายนอกหมอบรรณเข้ากับคนง่าย ยิ้มแย้มแจ่มใส เป็นหมอใจดีที่ใครๆ ก็รัก แต่ลึกลงไป หมอบรรณเป็นคนกดดันตัวเองและแบกรับมันไว้อยู่คนเดียวตลอดเวลา หัวรั้น เป็นผู้นำ เป็นตัวของตัวเอง รู้จักตัวเอง และเขาดื้อเอาการเลยละ

โอชอบหมอบรรณในเรื่องนี้ด้วยหลายๆ อย่างที่รวมเป็นตัวเขา (ที่สำคัญ ชอบหมอบรรณเวลาหมออ่อยนิ่งๆ หมอรู้จักใช้เสน่ห์ตัวเองดี :P)

มีพระนายนะคะ ส่วนจะเป็นใครขอไม่บอกตรงนี้ ไปลุ้นเอาเอง ฮ่าๆ

พระนายในเรื่องไม่ได้ฟีลพระเอกจ๋านะ แต่ละคนมีจุดด่างพร้อยในตัว แต่ก็เป็นอีกเหตุผลที่โอชอบในเรื่องนี้

พล็อตดี เนื้อเรื่องมีปมให้น่าติดตาม อ่านแล้วก็ลุ้นไปใครฆ่า ดราม่าพระนางก็บีบอารมณ์ใช้ได้เลย เป็นนิยายสายแพทย์ที่อ่านแล้วไม่อึดอัดสุดแล้วค่ะ ข้อมูลอะไรเป๊ะหมด เรียลดีค่ะ เพราะคนเขียนเปนคุณหมอ จุดนี้เลยทำออกมาได้ดี และปมอะไรที่ใส่มาในเรื่องเก็บได้หมดค่ะ ไม่มีหลงลืมหรือหายไประหว่างทาง

ตัวละครเราชอบหมอบรรณมาก แต่ก็ชอบแทนมากๆด้วยเหมือนกัน ชอบความอินดี้ ความฉลาด ความเฉลียว ความช้างเท้าหน้า ความอ้อย (อ้อน+อ่อย) ของหมอบรรณ ผู้ชายอะไรรู้จักใช้มารยาไว้อ้อยผู้ หมั่นนนนนนน ส่วนแทนก็พ่อบ้านใจกล้าชัดๆ รักเมีย หลงเมียมาก และเค้ามีความอ่อนไหว ไม่ใช่สายสตรอง ที่มักไม่ค่อยเหนในตัวพระเอกนิยายดีค่ะ

อ้อ แต่นิยายเรื่องนี้จะบรรยายแบบตัดสลับไปมาระหว่างสองตัวละคร มันก็เลยจะงงๆหน่อยเพราะตัวเอกเปนชายชาย พอขึ้นบทใหม่เปลี่ยนตัวละครแล้วเริ่มด้วย ผม บลา บลา บลา ก็จะต้องปรับอารมณ์ตามนิดนึงว่าอ้อ นี่เปลี่ยนตัวละครนี้เล่าแล้วนะ แล้วก็เรื่องคำผิด มีจำนวนหนึ่ง มีสำนวณคำเมืองสองสามที่ เราก็คนเชียงใหม่ค่ะ อ่านแล้ว เอ๊ คำเมืองมั้ยนะ ปรึกษาเพื่อนที่เป็นคนเมืองด้วยกันก็เห็นด้วยว่าเมืองค่ะ

Libro: 3.5/5
Serie: 4.5/5
Fangirleo: 1000/5

Novela policial, un asesinato que hay que descubrir, misterio y, en medio de todo hay romance m/m. ¿Qué más podría pedir? Absolutamente nada. Es todo lo que se necesita para tenerme atrapada. Sin embargo, acepto que tanto el libro como la serie sufre de tener momentos ilógicos, absurdos e innecesarios. Aún así, ambas cosas pueden complementarse a la perfección lo que me enamoró bastante. Hay cosas que amaba más leyéndolas y otras viéndolas.

Lo que me causó más ruido de la lectura es que estuviera en primera persona, no se, como que había narraciones algo descuidadas.

Los personajes principales (interpretados por mi amado MaxTul) me agradaron bastante, cada uno tiene una personalidad algo distinta que llega a compenetrarse.



Bunn es inteligente, pero por momentos muy cabeza dura.
Tann misterioso y serio, pero por momentos bastante tierno.

Estoy feliz con esto, se volvió de mis cosillas más queridas y quiero leer (y veeer) más.

The mysteries are so deliciously weaved and the MCs' (especially when I imagine the awesome Tul Pakorn and Max Nattapol playing them) chemistry is like a raging fire!!! I'm so glad the Thai novel got an English translation that's not so bad given the vast differences in syntax and grammar between Thai and English. What's important is that it's readable for international fans like myself!!! This is a gorgeous (and very cerebral) story that I can't wait to see in a mature Thai BL TV series to be played out by my fave Thai BL couple, #MaxTul.

Wake me up when November's here.... ^_^

P.S. To those who are wondering, the English translation is available for download in EPUB or PDF via the MEB app (which I downloaded through Google Play Store) for 400.00 Thai Baht, which can be paid using major credit cards like VISA or MASTERCARD. The app is in Thai but if you toggle the settings, you'll find that the app may be converted to English. I specifically downloaded the app to be able to purchase the English translation. The effort is worth it.

Manner of Death is my first book by a thailand writer. The book was great from the beginning. That plot of a pathologist and a teacher as romance was good. Also, the plot when the teacher ended being the right hand of the head of the mafia, was really unexpected. Although th first 20 chapters were really good, I feel that the plot was solved to early. There were at least nine episodes left and the major problem of the book was solved. I know that the nine episodes were for the romantic development, but I think this could be developed together with the case.

I really loved that the author uses medical terms and concepts throughout the story. These things give the book a more realistic feeling. And the final was great, there were no other way to end this book than with a marriage proposal and murder. The plot twist in the special chapter with the story of Sorrawit was really unexpected too.

I read that there's a second book in progress, named Transplant, I can't wait to read more of the adventures of Dr. Bunnakit and Mr. Tann.

This book kinda turns me down :-( The writing style is very mechanical and unnatural which is completely different from Triage (which I had given 5 stars and totally in love with!). It's my fault though I let Twitter got me too hyped about this book, and so I expected a lot of dark, twisted atmosphere and more complications (?). More action, less romance! I really wanted to love this book but it's a meh for me.

I'm still going to read Euthanasia though.

อ่านแล้ววางไปหลายรอบ สนุกบ้างน่าเบื่อบ้างสลับไปสลับมา เราระแวงตัวละครตัวนึงมาก กระทั่งว่าหน้าสุดท้ายขึ้น The End แล้วก็แบบ อ้าว นึกว่ามีพลิกล็อคอีกรอบ แบบว่าพลิกในพลิก ระแวงตั้งแต่โผล่มายันหน้าสุดท้าย ตอนพิเศษท้ายเล่มอ่านแล้วขมวดคิ้วเลย รู้สึกเหมือนยัดเยียด ไม่มีเคมีอะไรทั้งสิ้น
