So here is book zero ( love that ) the prequel to the first 3 books in the series and the insight as to why Leo is now searching for missing people
This is a ‘novella’ and so is a quick read but for new readers to the series and for readers who have read all previous 3 its a good and worthwhile read and it crosses the I’s and dot’s the T’s and basically tells you all about Leo and Mya and why the series exists, there is also a side story of migrants and how dangerous their lives are and a starring role for a repulsive Thai Detective, loved the descriptions of
him and his baseness
Once again a well written and enjoyable read from this author and I look forward to Book 4 ‘New York’ which is out end of this year
9/10

‘Koh Tao’ is the short prequel to the series and the one that gives the introduction to the characters and the events around Mya’s disappearance on their trip to Thailand. I decided on the audio book version read by the author and really enjoyed the enthusiasm he put into the reading. It was enjoyable and interesting enough to make me want to try one of the main series, but it was also a little lightweight and lacked bite. I expected a much more powerful statement regarding the treatment of migrant workers given the real life treatment of the illegal Myanmar migrants in the 2014 murder case on the island. I will definitely move on to the next in the series, but hope for more bite.

Ad Hoc read August 2025
I fairly recently discovered this author and have added myself to his e mail list (interesting ! ) and , obviously him being British made me investigate him more than if he was a different nationality ( and before anyone jumps on me, all I mean is , both of us being British have a shared upbringing, culture and mores. You only have to look at my read library to see I like authors from all over the world ).
And , when he was offering this prequel novella to his Leo Keane series at a reasonable price, free, it seemed a great place to start my delving into his writing.
I have to say I wasn’t disappointed the writing was good, the story line interesting and the characters well written, if a little icky at times. Anyway the upshot is, that I have bought the first book in the series Kathmandu Killers and hope to get onto it soon, when my reading slump passes completely.

I had seen the 1st Leo Keane book advertised 'Kathmandu', and then found out there was a prequel to this, 'Koh Tao'. So, before reading the first book in the series I decided to read 'Book 0' first. Whilst this book did given an introduction to the characters of Leo and Mya and events that happened around Mya's disappearance, I'm not sure all events seemed that realistic when it came to the Thai Police force. The Thai Police officers were portrayed as quite stereotypical and the story around the refugees Omar and his wide Nafisa I'm not sure would have been as clear cut in how they were portrayed. Maybe the events are based on the author's own experiences, but as the book was quite short (only 118 pages), had the book had been longer, extra narration of events may have helped to develop the plot over a longer period of time and so may have not felt like a 'rushed' prequel. I'm also not sure why the author has his characters refer to Koh Tao as being 'difficult to reach'. I have visited the island a couple of times myself whilst in Thailand, and getting the boat there seemed no problem at all.
However, having said all this, I have also now read 'Kathmandu' and absolutely loved it, and cannot wait to read the second book 'Hong Kong' which follows this. I don't feel you have to necessarily read 'Koh Tao' in order to understand 'Kathmandu'. In my opinion, skip this short prequel and start the first book of the series.

This is a nice introduction to a new series. I think it explains or at least gives you an idea of why Leo goes on to do what he does. It is a short read or listen and is given to you by two perspectives, Leo who's girl friend goes missing and refugee Omar who helps him try to find her only to be accused by the police of her disappearance. This works well as you get told the police's thinking or investigation from both sides, although they did seem a bit hopeless. I liked it but think it either needed to be longer or you need to read the next book straight away to keep it going. The characters were interesting but not sure who will be in the next book.
Leo and Mya are on holiday and at there final stop Leo hopes to have built up enough courage to ask her to marry him. But rather than answer him she heads to there room and disappears. She is very independent and likes to do things her way but did he disappear from her own choice or was she taken? At the same time Omar hopes to raise enough money to be able to pay for his wife to stay in the country, before the police find her there illegal. Omar joins in for the search of Mya only to become the police's number one suspect. Can Leo prove Omar had nothing to do with it and find Mya?
I like the fact that the narrator read the book because he put in a lot of enthusiasm into the story that I am not sure you would get with anyone else. I obviously enjoyed writing this book and it comes across in his re telling.

Like others, I started with this prequel Short Story before planning to go on to the series novels.
The story started out slow and choppy with all the short ‘chapters’, but developed nicely as I read further.
Being a prequel, there were some hanging plot lines not wrapped up in the end. It’s clear that Leo has a future task ahead, but what happened to Mya despite hints during the book, and was the Chief Inspector allowed to simply walk away from the mess he made?
Overall, a good first effort from this new author.

Prequel to Kathmandu and this the beautiful exotic island in Thailand.
The perfect place to ask her to marry him. The reply was unusual, and when going to get Mya answer was another surprise awaiting him, and one he didn’t expect. Good series, with good characters of Leo and Mya. Given audio which added to this prequels story, and enjoyed.

Geez where do I start? This book is all over the show, bouncing from one character to another in short chapters which I found irritating. I felt the author was trying too hard using words that weren't needed being overly descriptive about ordinary things. The amount of times a character's "big almond eyes" were mentioned was just ridiculous. Another was how he referred to a ferry as a boat. I think it has potential and at times it was gripping but the story had so many holes. Arguably one of the most frustrating novels I've ever read. I'm glad that it's over and no, I don't care where Mya is.

Entertaining
A relatively entertaining read. Was well enough written that I managed to read the book in 2 sittings. While the story was absorbing, there was a certain lack of depth in the description of most of the characters and this was slightly disappointing. Hopefuls story is continued and gives us more in depth character information to fill the story out

Great read!
Good combination of action and describing the beauty and grittiness of the island. Looking forward to the expansion of the character in subsequent books.

This was an interesting , thought-provoking story. The author has created a book that kept me reading long into the night. Loved the descriptions of people and places, they seemed real. Now I want to read more by Luke Richardson!

For the past two months they have been traveling the world, just the two of them creating paradise for themselves at each location they visit.

I´ve read all the other books in this series and Koh Tao explains why Leo decided to put a website together to help people look for missing loved ones whilst he also kept on looking for Mya. As usual Luke´s descriptions of places, people and feelings is very accurate and you can almost see the scenery or the faces he is talking about in the book.
Koh Tao is a very entertaining reading, a good love story that is the kick start for Leo Keane Thriller series.
I received a free copy of this book as a member of the author´s ARC team.

Great novel, I could not put it down. Leo and Mya are on vacation and Leo is looking to propose. Mya disappears and the local police arrest Omar, a worker at the resort where they are staying. The police want to close the case and do not care who is arrested. They do not even know if a crime has been committed. Where is Mya?

This is a great read. I enjoyed it. I am glad the author wrote this prequel to the book. I think Leo is a wonderful character and I am enjoying this series. I received an ARC from an objective review.

Missing Maya
Nothing exciting and no thrills in this story. Action is missing and the characters are not very well portrayed. Not interested in more from this author.

Omar and his wife Nafisa are refugees from Myanmar. They endured a terrible boat ride to Thailand and had money for only one set of immigration papers. They decided to buy papers for Omar. He works hard to get the money for Nafisa’s papers. She must hide in their small apartment all the time. They must stay alert for the local police raids so that Nafisa will hide when the police come. Omar works at a local hotel.
Leo and his girlfriend Mya have been on a wonderful holiday and the island of Koh Tao in Thailand is their final destination. Leo is trying to find the perfect time and place to propose to Mya. When the time finally arrives, Mya just smiles, says: ”Come to me in five minutes and you will have the answer”, and leaves. But when Leo comes to their cabin, Mya has vanished without a trace.
Inspector Kaya hates the sleepy island. But a disappeared tourist might just be the ticket for him to get noticed and get a promotion off the island. Unfortunately, the only thing he knows what to do is to harass the Myanmar refugees.
The start of the novella is a little slow when we get to know Omar, Nafisa, Leo, and Mya. But when the action starts, it continues at a good pace. Leo clearly loves Mya and will do anything to get her back. He’s a former journalist so he has some idea what to do. Meanwhile, we get a hint that Mya is more than just a mysterious girlfriend. Omar just wants to do his job well so that he can buy Nafisa her papers and they can enjoy their life together.
This was a good introduction to a thriller series. The descriptions were vivid and the characters interesting. However, the mystery of Mya’s disapearance isn’t solved. It seems to be Leo’s driving force in the series.

Review of KOH TAO by Luke Richardson
I must say that I have never read a novella so full of fast moving, intriguing characters and interwoven relationships. Sounds like overkill, but it isn't, rather it is exciting and intense to the end. I was sorry it was a novella as it ended all too quickly. It is the perfect prequel to Richardson's book, Kathmandu,which I also highly recommend.
Leo is a cautious, anxious man who is madly in love with Mya. They have been on a wonderful long trip together now ending in a lovely resort at Koh Tao; they must leave the next day. On the last night, Leo works up the nerve to propose to Mya. Her response is coy, to say the least.
While Leo is agonizing over the proposal, another couple is having quite a different trauma. Omar, an immigrant,works at the resort. He is fully documented, but his wife is not which means they much use some subterfuge while dancing around the authorities. Their lives intersect when Omar is accused of a crime he did not commit and his wife is exposed as undocumented. Leo is convinced that Omar is innocent and comes to his assistance.
The drama in this novella is intense and written as only Luke Richardson can.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes intrigue and mystery. Since it is set in an exotic place the experience is only intensified.

Koh Tao is the prequel to this adventure series dictated by the author himself, Luke Richardson, who has stopped teaching to dedicate himself to his natural craft. Indeed, he would have been a gem of a teacher! I'm guessing that covid presented a perfect segueway into doing what he clearly does best, and excels at it, he does. His personality shines through, as, not only does he read his own material with that calm but slightly husky voice, the story was short enough for me to remember all of it and thoroughly enjoy it. I cannot now read the continuing story but will use my next Audible credits toward listening to Luke read the rest of the series at the beach so I can have natural sound affects. The ups and downs were so terrifying, that I'm 😳 left feeling a slight melancholy. I find I'm enjoying audiobooks much better. I want to say more, but I don't want to give anything away! Bravo, Luke, I wish already that your amazing writing can be applied to a movie, and that you have a part acting in it--you rock!!!

My first book from Luke and I have the Audio version which is actually read by Luke too.
I like the characters and also the writing style. First impressions for me are it's ok, last impressions are, yes, I definitely like this book, very good story which I found near the end to be so exciting, I felt I was there in that car, shouting faster, faster.
The way the police are and how people are treated makes you think.
I am really impressed with the way Luke has narrated his book, congratulations, Luke.
I am excited now to go on to read the next book in the series.
I received this audiobook for free and wanted to give an honest review.

Koh Tao is a novella set two year before Luke Richardson’s international thriller series. It provides insight into Leo’s fight with forces in a foreign land. Leo is looing for the perfect place to propose and make the love of his life his own. When they arrive in the tropical paradise of Koh Tao, he thinks he has found it. But then she disappears. Is it a joke? has she been kidnapped? Has she run away? Could it be a sinister plot? Who will help him? This provides a background for the thriller series to follow. I gave this honest, voluntary review after being given a free copy of the novel

How it all began.
Leo is on an Asian vacation with his girlfriend and an engagement ring in his pocket. But then it all goes to chopsticks when she disappears and the very helpful Rohingya refugee is tagged by the unpleasant police detective and then...
Lots of suspense, very believable characters, clear imagery, and a solid plot.
You can rarely go wrong with the author doing the narration, and Luke does a fine job!

A good taster for the rest of this authors books.
I enjoyed this and it will hopefully lead in well to catching the rest of the series.
The reason why Leo is now looking for missing people.
I wasn’t too sure the police & the official office would go quite this smoothly but obviously this is a shorter version so how much can you fit in.
The author narrated and he has a good voice to listen to.

What an amazing story teller Luke Richardson is. I read Kathmandu first, which was truly sensational, such depth of knowledge and understanding of the country, you really felt like you where there. So the prequel to it was Koh Tao. In this you get into how Mya disappeared and how he starts his Missing Person website. Love the character's who now feel like people you know.
Looking forward to the next thrilling episode. Thank you Luke!

Read by the author it was an interesting experience really, I did found it a little slow paced and maybe it's because I haven't read the other ones or something just couldn't really connect with the story or the characters it was heavy.
So we have immigration troubles, maybe a kidnapping? we still don't know for sure, lots of injustices on this one and that's how life for immigrants are in a lot of places it was hard to listen.
It did was interesting it was a thriller weirdly for me I usually love the genre I just felt the story wasn't captivating me enough.
