Red Mandarin Dress by Qiu Xiaolong
4.0
A ritualistic serial killer? Yes, we finally got to that :P
Chen is getting more unsure about his job, and he's considering retaking his academic career when he's handed this case. His partner is getting a bit fed up with all his vacations, tbh, and there is some tension going between them.
As it's usual in these books, there are lots of tidbits about Chinese culture: food, dresses, literature and politics. But this case brings also some reflections on the attitude about mental illness in Mao's China.
Another very good book in this series.
