A review by lauraellis
Reflecting the Sky by S.J. Rozan

4.0

I love the Lydia Chin/Bill Smith series. I think that Ms. Rozan does a particularly good job of presenting the very different perspectives and voices of Lydia and Bill. I like that she alternates the narrators -- one book Lydia, the next book Bill, and so forth. I can't think of another author, at least not in the mystery genre, that did that before her, and it is very effective. The Lydia books, with their focus on Chinese-American culture, are particularly interesting and even enthralling. I don't understand why the "critics," the so-called "experts" seem to like the Bill books better.

This one is particularly good -- Lydia and Bill go to Hong-Kong to perform a simple seeming errand, but of course nothing is simple. It made me want to go to Hong Kong -- and eat the food!

When I finished this book (which I have read at least twice before), I had that wash of contentment that comes from a really good read.
