Welcome to Litsy!

This thriller has a slow start and initially unlikable characters, but gives way to a good mystery. The character development along the way begins to make the characters more likable. This is the first book in a series with a Chinese police detective and an American pathologist. Peter May has researched extensively to write this series based in China. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 #clearmyshelves2024 #serieslove2024

This is my #bookspin for January.

I am thankful that @EadieB introduced me to Peter May. I thoroughly enjoyed the Lewis trilogy by him. Eadie sent me several of his books and this one has been on my shelf for a bit and is my #bookspin for January. #clearmyshelvesin2024 ❤️📚

Love the Yan and Campbell Series by Peter May set in China where two cultures collide. Seems very appropriate for #ChineseNewYear and recommend this series. #JanuaryJazz

My first Peter May book. The China series first book. This was a gripping tale. Margaret is invited to teach at a university in China for 6 weeks. She isn't familiar with any cultural differences which makes things rather difficult for her. She is asked to do an autopsy on a burn victim, since that is her area of expertise. Of course the police detective Li Yan is not happy she is involved. Then two other bodies are found that may be linked.

Currently reading, had to take a little break again. Another book that's causing anxiety!

I have 74 books in the bedroom on my “next to read” tables... Well, I better start then!

Went to the library... 🖕🏽happened. Weirdly enough, I‘d requested a book to my library a week ago, but turns out it was already in the library, now a week later it‘s still in transit from within the same building 🤔

Interesting story. Liked the two main characters, I became quite invested in them. It seems well researched and well written. Enjoyed the history.

A library book.

Today‘s book haul! Qb from the charity shop! Well chuffed as I loved The Blackhouse! Hoping this trilogy will be just as good! ??

I love the China Thrillers Series starring the local Chinese Detective Li Yan and the American Pathologist Margaret Campbell which are set in China. They figure good murder themes, cross cultural issues and an explosive ‘relationship‘ between the two lead protagonists. Only read the first three but itching to read the other 3.

I read this years ago when it was a cheapie on Kindle. I enjoyed the descriptions of Beijing and the cultural side of Chinese life was fascinating. A very good thriller that made me a Peter May fan!
