Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China by Paul French

4.0

Like a lot of my favorite true crime, Midnight in Peking uses the murder as a jumping-off point to explore a fascinating time in history. Its also beautifully structured, starting out as detective story and turning into a family drama as Pamela's father picks up where the investigation left off. Sparked my interest in China during the world wars, and I would love to read more set during this period.
