I was excited to be selected to read and review this book as I enjoyed Sendker's earlier work The Art of Hearing Heartbeats. I think my actual review if allowed would've a 4.5. I have been fascinated with Hong Kong and it's relationship to China for years and enjoyed learning more about their history through the book. Paul was a compelling lead and I was pleasantly surprised by the many elements of the classical crime thriller showed up in the book. i was left with an even stronger desire to put Hong Kong near the top of my travel wish list. Definitely recommend.

I read this over a long weekend while sitting on the beach at Tybee Island, GA so it was a literal "beach book". Enjoyed the low country setting. Found the relationship between Cate and John to be a little too rushed to completely draw me in and make me a believer.
Would recommend to others looking to learn more about the low country.
