Thief of Souls by Brian Klingborg
3.0
Thief of Souls is a debut and new crime fiction series by Brian Klingborg that follows Lu Fei, a newly graduated police officer in China. After a young woman is found dead with her organs removed, Lu is determined to try and find the true killer, but the CID head is determined to pin it on the first available suspect.
The storyline of this book was intriguing to me; however, I found myself struggling to really become hooked and invested in the characters. I did find some of the political aspects and how the police force in China differs from that of the United States interesting (unsure how true this depiction is though) The book sped up a bit towards the end, but overall, I felt ‘meh’ towards it. I’ll look for the next book to come out by this author, but am undecided on if I will pick it up or not.
