Interesting cultural perspective. 

Well written, with a cool, if predictable climax. A standard thriller, but written with a Chinese cultural context. If you like experiencing other cultures, this is worth a read.

Great Story.fascinating culture

Inspector Lou deals with politics, corruption, unique characters, thugs, disabled veterans, illiterate, farmers, and beautiful women at risk of being murdered, spiced by the poetry of China’s greatest poets and enhanced by quotations from allowed to Confucius and others, this is a Rich story and a detective story at that.

Mixed

The narration was great. The quotes from Mao, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, and Confucius were great! Immersion into Chinese communism was fascinating. But it became dark, gross, and gratuitously evil. Sadly, it could have been a masterpiece, but instead it was a perversion too often.
