A Loyal Character Dancer by Qiu Xiaolong

3.0

3.5 stars. The 2nd novel involving Chief Inspector Chen Cao. It's a good book, definitely - when reading mysteries I prefer the kind that's a bit different from the mainstream, and this series definitely fulfills that criterion. However, the case and what we learn about it felt a little unstructured and confusing at times, which is why I can't give it four stars. And I have to say that I could have lived without the romance part here (I mean the one between Chen and Rohn - I absolutely love Yu and Peiquin.). But overall I really liked it and I expect to be reading more of this series.
