Bad Blood by S.J. Rozan

the latest in the lydia chin and bill smith series is out in paperback; one of those books i just couldn't wait to get my grubby little mitts on.

rozan's come up trumps again with another great book, the third narrated by bill. i'm glad i wasn't disappointed. not only does she write very finely, drawing you into both the scenery and the characters, but her plots stand up to analysis and all coincidence is accounted for. this book leaves the new york city setting of the previous five books and moves to bill smith's cabin in upstate new york where they've never seen anything quite like lydia. i was worried i'd miss manhattan and chinatown, but of course i didn't, and now i can barely wait to get into reading the next in the series, the hong kong set and lydia narrated reflecting the sky
