Personally, I got seriously bored reading about how these 'innocent' people were in the wrong place at the wrong time. That was until I read "Forget you had a daughter."
Sandra Gregory doesn't try to insult your intelligence and admits her guilt and stupidity of trying to smuggle heroin from Thailand to Japan.
Next is the hooker books such as Private Dancer, Porn goes boom boom etc which all have the similar Farang falls in love with bargirl from Isaan and gets fucked over. Tediously boring garbage written by fairly untalented authors. They also try to slip in the odd cultural lesson, although a fictional book about the 'scene' in Thailand is hardly the place to study foreign cultures.
What can I say? I'm hard to please.
