The Silence of Bones
by June Hur
Intense and gripping murder mystery set in 1800 Joseon era Korea.
The setting probably accounts for half of my appreciation - helped along by many hours of watching historical Korean dramas, which is why it was so easy to really see the people occupying this story. Top knots, robes, swords, straw hats and hanbok dresses. But also murder, political machinations, the persecution of catholics and a girl just wanting to be with her family. Heartbreaking, but altogether an intriguing story which had me coming back until I knew the conclusion!
