Black Jade - A Daiyu Wu Mystery (Daiyu Wu Mysteries, #1) by Gloria Oliver
5.0
I received an advance reader copy of this for free.
The premise intrigued me at once. A blind asian american woman, solving a murder where the murder weapon is a BALLGOWN laced with arsenic - in a historial setting?! Sign me the heck up!
It immediately hooked me from the start, and it was impossible to put down. The chapters are pretty short and keep the story thrilling. I actually loved that it's from Dai's companion Jacques' POV, and I assume that since this is a series, we will learn more about him in the future. I also really liked Aiden.
I think this is a great book to come out now with all the asian hate there is right now, especially in the US. Big plus for empowered disabled people and women!
I definitely wanna read on in this series.
