Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee (Dee Goong An) by

4.0

There was an upsetting amount of torture in this book but overall I really enjoyed it. It's really fascinating to read a mystery set in a time, place, and judicial system that is so unknown to me (although van Gulik gives a great overview). I'll definitely try reading van Gulik's original novels based on this character.
