pickA very short quick read. I thought this prequel would just be a quick background on how things started back in England…but it was actually a full blown mystery, even if a short one. Gemma‘s neighbor on the flight back to England is murdered and Gemma is the lead suspect, so of course she must find the true murderer in order to clear things up.
pickI was disappointed in this book, but because of my own expectations. Knowing that the author is of Chinese descent, but was setting her series in Oxford, England, I wanted a character who was visibly Chinese, but behaved as a typical British lady. Part of this is from never finding anyone like myself in a story, a half-Korean British-American. Getting adjusted to white Gemma instead of Chinese Gemma took some time.
