Review

I loved Shanghai Tang, what could be better than a fast paced thriller set in stunning China.

As I was hearing about the city I started to feel like I was actually there. Mick’s way of writing absorbs you in to the scene and I was totally engrossed. learning about the triads and the underground fighting was so interesting. Along with hustle and bustle of the bars and clubs the images of the Triads were firmly imprinted on my mind.

What’s starts as an ordinary missing person case opens up in to something more serious. Lin Yang is wanted man by more than one person!

This is a thriller with real gut wrenching crime enclosed. Fast paced and a bit gory in places with twists that you will not see coming!
This is the 4th book in the series and I didn’t need to have read the previous books to understand all about Dan. He is a pretty interesting character and really tough but seems to have his heart in the right place.
I quite liked the way the book flicked from USA to China and back again the story really flowed and I found myself wanting to know more quite quickly. A great read.
