Fantastic mystery
19 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
Chinese-American Lydia Chin and Bill Smith are now official partners
in a private investigation business. Lydia's honorary grandfather Gao,
an herb shop owner in Chinatown asks her to perform some tasks in Hong
Kong for him. She agrees, taking Bill with her, to deliver a package
containing a jade statue to the grandson of a deceased friend, Wei Yao
Shin.
in a private investigation business. Lydia's honorary grandfather Gao,
an herb shop owner in Chinatown asks her to perform some tasks in Hong
Kong for him. She agrees, taking Bill with her, to deliver a package
containing a jade statue to the grandson of a deceased friend, Wei Yao
Shin.
The easy assignment turns difficult almost from the onset
of their arrival in Hong Kong. Someone kidnaps Harry, the intended
recipient of the delivery, but Lydia and Bill have no idea who or why
since several diverse groups claim responsibility. As the American
sleuths try to find and return Harry safely home; they risk their own
lives in the process.
S.J. Rozan is one of the best writers of
hard-boiled private eye novel as proven with her latest, REFLECTIONS
IN THE SKY. The tale includes several red herrings that take the
reader down false trails leaving everyone clueless as to who the
kidnappers are. Hong Kong is vividly described as a beautifully
strange hybrid mix of Eastern and Western cultures that leads to the
reader wanting to visit the island. The award winning Ms. Rozan, in
her seventh Chin-Smith mystery, provides her fans with another
powerfully taut thriller.

A new level
13 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
SJ Rozan -- one of my favorite crime writers anyway -- has hit a new level with REFLECTING THE SKY. Maybe it's the Hong Kong setting, but something in this book brings out a new depth and maturity in Lydia Chin. She show a seriousness we haven't seen before as she and Bill Smith, working with (and sometimes against) an Alabama-raised, Chinese-American Hong Kong cop, try to solve a complicated case revolving around kidnapping, smuggling, and the meaning of family. I'm eyeing ticket prices to Hong Kong as I write this.

This is S.J. Rozan's BEST
11 April 2001
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I only recently discovered the duo of Lydia Chin and Bill Smith ... and I'm hooked! I read one right after the other, and loved every word, but this is by far Rozan's best work. These two characters just get more finely-tuned with every book. She offers fascinating insight into the Chinese culture, while balancing it with Bill's very Western viewpoint. The mysteries are subtle and intricate, and always contain an element you didn't see coming. Treat yourself! Can't wait for more of these two!
