...first Dr. Siri mystery, 2004's The Coroner's Lunch, Cotterill had little to go on. Historical accounts from the mid-1970s proved sketchy at best (and, as it happened, Laos had no actual chief coroner to consult).

...part of the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the educational experience.”Graduate School of Design professor Alex Krieger noted that Lesley’s construction “is easier to absorb than a giant science building” and would thus make opposition less likely to gel. The neighbors, he said, “are not threatened by Lesley yet.”But that’s not to say that having students live side-by-side with residents eliminated problems—indeed, it can sometimes exacerbate them...
