Chief Inspector Chen, facing possible disciplinary action, is excluded from a new investigation that has seen a poem said to be criticising the current government removed from the Internet. Left fearing for his career he finds himself reflecting on his life growing up during the Cultural Revolution and his previous cases.
Qiu deepens his Dalgliesh-like series lead in his superior 11th novel featuring Shanghai policeman and poet Chen Cao . While series fans will be delighted at the background Qiu provides, this is an accessible starting point for newcomers interested in a dogged, honest cop who must battle his own government to do his job * Publishers Weekly Starred Review *
Gripping . Chen's memories of the brutalities practiced on people regarded as intellectuals under Mao, like Chen's father (a teacher), are achingly vivid. The latest Chen is both a scathing indictment of contemporary China and an explanation of how poet Chen came to be Chief Inspector Chen * Booklist *
Another elegant mix of recent history and literary embellishments and a richer Chen backstory . Qiu's stylish hybrid is half fictional literary memoir and half crisp whodunit * Kirkus Reviews *
Outstanding ... Fans of mysteries about honest cops working for compromised regimes won't want to miss this one * Publishers Weekly Starred Review of Hold Your Breath, China *
Fascinating ... Xiaolong writes with both urgency and grace about modern China in another well-crafted mystery * Booklist Starred Review of Hold Your Breath, China *
Inspector Chen's 10th mystery effectively uses the genre to explore China's current pollution crisis * Kirkus Reviews on Hold Your Breath, China *
Another superb entry in an always-outstanding series * Booklist Starred Review of Shanghai Redemption *
