The mysteries in these books are secondary to the descriptions of Chinese culture, food and politics.The endings are reminiscent of John LeCarre. Justice is a incomplete idea and never fully realized. Political realities always take precedence.

Perhaps it says something about me but despite those endings Qiu is my favorite author .
