The answer is a very solid...yes...it's engaging, topical...and certainly qualifies Peter May as a name to watch.' - Shots 'A gripping page-turner which combines edge-of-the-seat suspense with a fascinating picture of modern China making its painful transition to a market economy.' - Irish Independent on THE KILLING ROOM 'A fascinating series.' - The Sunday Telegraph on THE KILLING ROOM

5.0 out of 5 stars The most exciting thriller I've read in a very long time, 21 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Runner (Paperback)
The most exciting thriller I've read in a very long time. I found it absolutely unputdownable. The descriptions of China were so real, I had to occasionally look out of the window and make sure I was still in Edinburgh.
I don't read much crime and now I know the reason why - most of the British settings and plots are totally predictable - halfway through and I've worked it out! - been there, done that and have the T-shirt. Li Yan, the Chinese detective is a superb character and what really got through to me was not only a fiendishly clever plot with some villains who took me by surprise. Great, great story!
