Book Review of Jade Lady Burning (Sergeants Sueno and Bascom, Bk 1)

Jade Lady Burning (Sergeants Sueno and Bascom, Bk 1)
MarciNYC avatar reviewed on


When Miss Pak is murdered, George Sueno, a US serviceman stationed in Korea, investigates her death. On these pages, the Korea where the natives and the US military personnel mix comes to life. It's not a fast-paced thriller, but a slow deliberate unraveling of the mystery surrounding this young woman's murder.

Overall, an enjoyable debut by Limon who was stationed in Korea for a time. The descriptions of the people and places in Seoul made me feel like I was there.
