Title: NOT MUCH OF A MYSTERY AND POORLY DONE AT THAT
Review: This should have been an interesting mystery. This should have had enough interesting characters and locale to keep the reader riveted. Instead, after a couple of chapters I found it very boring and predictable. No excuse for the gore and profanity. Real people don't act like that (let alone Chinese police) and the author's attempts to describe Shanghai read like a poor National Geographic. I wish the author could get a tighter reign on his imagination and find a way to get the mystery across. By the way, the "love" angle was utterly ridiculous.
