## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    No humor, contrived, violent, pointless
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020*

Hiassen’s humorous, stinging work about the venality of Florida and the southern scene are missing here.  In addition, the hero Is beaten up so much that he should be in a nursing home but he bounces back like the Energizer bunny and manages to solve a mystery in China and doesn’t speak Mandarin. Unbelievable is an under statement about the book .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent book
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020*

When I think of  Carl His son's books, I think of his great books set in the craziness of Florida. I've always enjoyed his writings, but was surprised to see that this one was set in a different part of the world.Hesitantly, I began to read and before I knew it, was immersed in this fascinating story which takes place in a modern day China not many of us are familiar with.The protagonist is a Veteran from the turmoil of the Viet Nam War who is fighting his own battles against the memories an experiences of that dark time.When the elderly scholar who has become his friend and mentor dies during a trip to China to visit his brother, a series of events are set in motion that are shocking and dangerous.This is a very enjoyable book. I highly recommend it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Early Hiaasan  Effort
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019*

This is a much different Hiaasan novel than I usually read.  I got this book because I enjoy reading Hiassan.  Most of his novels are localized in the Miami area, but this is his first or one of his first novels, and has nothing to do with Miami.  It also lacks the irreverent stamp that Hiaasan has on his more recent novels.  This is just a straight forward mystery.  Mike Stratton is a Viet Nam vet, with a history.  He goes to China with a tour group and ends up in the same area he was in during drop into China during the Viet Nam War.  It is readable and entertaining, although kind of unbelievable.  Stratton gets himself into impossible situations, but always manages, miraculously, to get out of them.  But it was enjoyable and for that I give it 4 stars.
