I heard about the novel Death Notice (not to be confused with the manga Death Note) by Zhou Haohui for the first time this evening from a New York Times article. Sounds interesting! If it is available on Audible.com, I may check it out this month during my daily commute.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo opened up a flood of Scandinavian crime fiction to U.S. markets. It was also very, very dark. I wonder if Haohui's trilogy will have a similar impact for Chinese crime fiction?
