3.0
Rating and review only for Kelly Robson's A Study in Oils.
While it was not a powerful as her other work The Human Stain, it's still very well written and leisurely paced. The main character, Zhang Lei, a hockey player from moon who ran from his murder conviction, was a sympathetic one. Anyway, the biggest drawback may be that it is not SF enough for me.
PS: The rural China setting is so similar with Lawrence Schoen's The Rule of Three. Is it a trend now? 😆
