I did very much enjoy this novel!
"Black Jade" is a fast-paced but easy to read murder mystery. While the story was well thought through and executed the author also didn't shy away from putting the story in a historical context including racism and ableism as topics to tackle within the story.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was that I was able to predict the ending which took a bit of the tension of the story line out.
Still a very good read though, I hope for a sequel!
