The Killing Room

pick

Outstanding addition to the China Thrillers series, and my favorite so far. A dark, gripping mystery that intertwines dramatic personal conflicts with the intensity of a chilling investigation. Lead detective, Li Yan, is called to Shanghai to assist in the investigation of a mass grave filled with dismembered bodies. He teams up again with American pathologist Margaret Campbell to discover who is behind the killings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚

The Killing Room | Peter May

Currently reading - Peter May is so good at suspenseful police procedural thrillers! Forever grateful to @Crazeedi and @EadieB for the introduction to him! ❤️📚

I need to update my Litsy account with reviews! I‘ve gotten behind. So busy with house projects and my visiting MIL, I haven‘t had much time to read, let alone write reviews. She‘s going to be with us through the end of the year, so I‘m hoping to settle into more of a routine soon. 💕

EadieB @Elizabeth2 I‘m glad you are enjoying the book! 7mo

Crazeedi They're very good books! Hope you get to relax a bit! 7mo

China Thriller number 3
May certainly knows how to write a thriller. Margaret is asked to return to China to autopsy 18 or more body parts found in mud. Li is put in charge of investigation, and their relationship is strained with the addition of his associate. Nothing links these bodies, and the twists are anxiety producing!

18 women are found in a mass grave in Shanghai. Li and Margaret end up investigating the case. Margret gets a nemesis who tries to get Li by any means. Brutal murders, nasty people, personal nightmares. This case is hitting a bit too close to home for our heroes. The book is heartbreaking in many ways, as well as great! Recommended!

Andrew65 A good series. 5y

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 🤔Disagree. A great series! 😃😂 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes true, need to pick my words more carefully! 🤣 5y

Yes, have been looking for this book to continue the series, and now I‘ve got it! National Emergency Library, you did it again!

Andrew65, EadieB

EadieB Lucky you! I read that one and gave it 5 stars! 5y

Andrew65 Both @EadieB and I are great fans of Peter May. This is a unique series, think I‘ve now read the first 4 in the series and love it. If not read it I strongly recommend his Lewis trilogy, book 3 gave me one of the biggest shocks of any book I‘ve known. Left me reeling for weeks!

The Blackhouse: Lewis Trilogy 1

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 Yes, have read them. One of my fave trilogies. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB It was but seeing them on a post like this makes me realise they are all mystery and suspense with six of the seven being crime detection books! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 yes but that‘s the genre that we like! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB True, possibly need to branch out into some more mystery / thrillers that aren‘t detectives. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 just read whatever you‘re in the mood for! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Good point, recently it has been detectives, and got up to date on a number of my favourite series. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Getting up to date with series is a good thing! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB 3 alone last week : Vera, Wade Jackson and the Murder Club! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 An all around amazing week! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Now can I match it or exceed it this week? Not easy when I am due to read Sarum which is 1344 Pages long! 😳 (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 You can match the page count but probably not the book count. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Very True! 😂 6y
