Murder in Ancient China: Two Judge Dee Mysteries by Robert van Gulik

3.0

In Elsa Hart’s novel, Jade, Dragon, Mountain, the storyteller Hamza tells a story about Judge Dee. Somewhere else (maybe an interview with Hart?), I found out that there are several novels and some stories by Robert van Gulik about Judge Dee, a magistrate-detective Dee in ancient China.

I tried this title because it was free for Kindle, just to get a taste of Gulik’s character. Quick read. I might like to try a full-length novel about the character sometime. But I’d rather read Elsa Hart’s writing and eagerly await her next one.
