A review by hokiegal2k
The Red Lotus by Chris Bohjalian

4.0

The Red Lotus is a good thriller/mystery/medical-ish drama. I have other Chris Bohjalian books on my To Be Read list, but this is the first one I've been able to read. I enjoyed the science of the mystery and that Alexis was a strong female lead. I also thought to have her relationship with Austin be only 6 months old helped to move the story along. Much longer and I think it would have been more of a stretch for Alexis to distance herself from him in order to get the answers she was seeking. I think this was a solid book and look forward to getting to the other Bohjalian novels.

Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
