I quite enjoyed this novel. The authors did well to weave in the reality of racism faced by Chinese immigrants in England, as well as the lingering addiction to opium introduced in China by brits. A spate of deaths leads our 2 MCs on a path that will uncover the greed and unacknowledged jealousy of British men. For anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes and solving mysteries will enjoy this read.
