A Loyal Character Dancer by Qiu Xiaolong
4.0
Argh! I hate that we can't add new books anymore! *grumbles*
Second book in the series and I'm still loving it. An interesting plot, a new character, the US Marshall Catharine Rohn, some well-placed twists and what I think it's the trademark of the series: food and literary references. I loooooove it!
But, in between all of this, there is also a lot of information about life in Shangai at that time, how the true 'money' is favours and China's history, all done in a way in that is not intrusive nor annoying. It's a captivating series and I'll go right to the next book.
