Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong
2.0
Eh. It was okay.
This is the story of a Poet, assigned to be a Cop, who gets his first 'big' case as 'Chief Inspector' of the 'Special Unit' squad.
I wish it would have focused more on the Case Specifics instead of 'Politics politics politics'. Not very interesting read. Interesting enough but it was a slow read and seemed bogged down a lot, The Character's personal life mixing too much with the story about the 'Case' he's trying to solve. It also got bogged down a bit with the Secondary Characters past - Detective Yu. Some of it I could see as leading the story forward, but most of it, meh.
