A review by yetanothersusan
Thief of Souls by Brian Klingborg

4.0

How many sweet spots did this book hit for me? Lots! First, mystery is my favorite genre and this is a good one! Second, I love learning things when I read and Mr. Klingborg deftly weaves Chinese history throughout the book without being condescending to the reader. It was informative and interesting. Third, I really liked the characters. Inspector Lu wants to do a good job and find the killer. He does not like the political nature of being a police officer. His dislike of it is almost political in its own way. I am excited to see there is a second book coming out soon!

Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
