First off, although this book starts with an unexplained murder, that is not the main focus. Do not go into this book expecting it to be all about the mystery of the murder because you will be disappointed. What this book does deliver on is a detailed trip through the sights, sounds, tastes, and people of the Taipei Night Market.
The mystery takes a backseat to the author giving you a literary tour through the Night Market, but he connects it back to the mystery in the end, which I personally enjoyed. Also, the book is set during Ghost Month which added to me learning new, interesting things about a holiday I previously knew nothing about.
