Fans of the first book who wished to know more about the enigmatic Li Du will be well rewarded here. Readers who appreciate historical mysteries, especially the classic "Judge Dee" series by Robert van Gulik, will be enthralled by this fascinating mystery.
Berry's fiction debut is a dark, twisty, and deeply disturbing thriller that makes for an absorbing summer read. Readers will look forward to the next novel by this promising new author.
Winner of the UK's Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller competition, this is a hugely appealing tale of the endurance of friendship. With elements of romance, mystery, drama, and history, there's much here to love.
While Kelly clearly has great fondness for her subjects, there are some missteps here. Because the pair meet and marry within the span of a few pages, it can be difficult to understand their devotion to each other. The two stories lack balance, so Bess's search for the man she loves after his death feels tacked on. Despite this, the author has a deft hand in setting a scene and has picked fascinating subjects, things that bode well for future efforts. [See Prepub Alert, 9/28/15.]
