The series' protagonist, twenty-six year old Su Lin, is a great character. She lives with her grandmother, uncle, aunt and niece. On the third day of the Chinese New Year, she finds that an old associate of her uncle is at the door. She refused admittance to the house because Lin's uncle was too ill to meet anyone. The associate was subsequently murdered after leaving Su Lin's home. In his pocket were some yellow rambutan skins. I thought these skins were an awesome clue. Having never heard of them before, I headed to Wikipedia for more information.
I have mixed feelings about the book. The setting was exquisite but the murder investigation seemed secondary to the setting. ( )
