This was an amazing book when you consider that Peter May is Scottish and he is writing a Chinese thriller and he does it very well. I learned a lot about the cultural and social elements in China through the experiences of Margaret as she works as a forensic pathologist.The characters are well developed and the story gets intense as Margaret and Mei-Ling battle for Li Yan's attention. The plot centers around the Chinese law of one child per family and the consequences of many Chinese women as they seek abortions. If you like suspense thrillers that are well researched and full of action, then you should check out Peter May's Beijing series.
