Reviews

[Kim · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this mystery because it was based in Hong Kong and I wanted to get an idea of what it was like there. It didn't give much sense of place, so I wouldn't recommend it for that. As a mystery, it was okay. Started out with a van full of people committing suicide on an empty highway and the mystery is trying to figure out why.

This is a great series.
I was delighted to find them in the stacks, way back when.
Not sure what reminded me of these books. I'm guessing I read them about 25 years ago.
Unfortunately my library does not have e-version.
