Unfortunately, this isn't for me as I originally thought. When I first saw this on the shelf, I thought it would be something like Detective Di Renjie, but I was wrong. This book contains two cases in an imaginative historical China that needs to be solved. Both cases are mysterious in their own way, which is good. I do love a good mystery. But the solving of the crime and the murderers' motives… leave me sighing. They were unexpected, which should be a good thing, but it's not, especially when they involve past unsolved cases that weren't even mentioned properly. I didn't like it. But I still finished it. Others may like this, but it's not for me.
