Product ReviewsMurder in China Ser.: The Firemaker by Peter May (2005, Hardcover)

WONDERFUL SERIES STARTS WITH THIS ONE!!

This is the first in the Peter May China series and one of my absolute favorite series. Love the characters. Love the back story of modern day China. Interesting mystery, not going to happen in the USA........An American woman pathologist is in Beijing China to give some lectures. An American Chinese was put on fire and because Margaret Campbell happens to be in town and fire victims her specialty, she is asked to do the autopsy. Her nemesis, at first, is the Chinese police detective Li Yan because they butt horns so to speak, but eventually are drawn to each other physically. The two main characters are so strong and likeable and the mystery interesting and I learned more about modern China than anywhere else. I highly highly recommend this series and this first one!!Read full review...
