( ) This book is part of a delightful series. Most readers of Van Gulik read these books again: they abound in details on Chinese medieval life and the plots are always clever. This is the only book where the judge is tempted by another woman. Usually, you see him content, enjoying the company of his several wives in his courtyard, practicing calligraphy or some peaceful activity. In this book, he is more confused and less wise than in the others. So, you find Judge Dee to be less regal than usual, but the end will leave you with a touch of sadness. Hence, only 4 stars, but don't miss it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Judge Dee and his four helpers solve the murders of an honored merchant, a kindly boxing master, and a paper merchant's wife, whose corpse has no head. They succeed in spite of strong pressure on Judge Dee from higher-ups to bring his investigation, which has temporarily generated unrest among the populace, rapidly to an end or face dismissal and serious punishment. The case of the headless corpse is based on a thirteenth-century Chinese casebook; the nail murder, one of the most famous motifs in Chinese crime literature, is first described in the same text. "So scrupulously in the classic Chinese manner yet so nicely equipped with everything to satisfy the modern reader."—New York Times Robert Van Gulik (1910-67) was a Dutch diplomat and an authority on Chinese history and culture. He drew his plots from the whole body of Chinese literature, especially from the popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
