#Sequelplease for me this has to be the Number Ten Ox and Master Li chronicles. These are fantastic fun fantasy detective stories set in “an ancient China that never was but should have been”. At the end of the first book there is a reference to how the story would end and the author has confirmed there was to be seven books in the series, but disputes with his publishers means that we will only get the three that were published. #Aprilbookshowers
