The Borrowed by Chan Ho-Kei
3.0
*Read for my Reader’s Advisory class*
Chan Ho-Kei presents a master class in creative crime solving with these 6 novellas that tell the story of detective Kwan Chun-dok in reverse chronological order. Interspersed are insights into the history, culture, and politics of Hong Kong. Not a book I’d pick up on my own, but I can see this appealing to readers who appreciate the way Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot can pick apart a crime.
