I picked this one up a while back on a friend’s recommendation and due to the general insanity of life lately I just finished reading it. It’s the first book in Liz Williams’s Detective Inspector Chen series and I really like the concept. It’s somewhat similar to the Dresden Files and Diana Tregarde series but is set a hemisphere away, in a client city of a near future China. The Chinese mythos really made it a fun read, and I’ll be picking up the rest of the books in the series when the rather tall to-be-read stack gets a little shorter. |
