I recently read and loved a sci-fi/mystery/fantasy/detective hybrid of a book called The Snake Agent by Liz Williams in which her lead character is Detective Inspecter Chen. Good book. The sequel is out and on my 'to read' list.Carl V.

Just noticed my verb doesn't agree with my subject in my earlier comment.<br /><br />Jenclair, you will enjoy them when you do get to them. All in good time. One of things I love about reading is that you always learn things. Bit by bit new knowledge begins to hold hands with older knowledge. Bridges and foundations are built. I checked with my library and they have both books you mention. I'm looking forward to reading them.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-1160187207859325992006-10-06T21:13:00.000-05:002006-10-06T21:13:00.000-05:00Cheya, I still have Red Scarf Girl and Wild Swans:...Cheya, I still have <I>Red Scarf Girl</I> and <I>Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China</I> on my list. <BR/><BR/>And Eliot Pattison has written some marvelous books about a Chinese detective sentenced to a labor camp in Tibet.
