Started reading this book and it is oddly drawing me in and I‘m enjoying it. It‘s a bit different. Anyone read it?

#TuneIntoNovember I recall reading this ARC several years ago & according to my GoodReads review I quite enjoyed the read. It‘s a literary thriller set in HongKong, where an expat recluse is drawn into the disappearance of a young American man. Same author as THE ART OF HEARING HEARTBEATS, which I often post about. #shadow
Despite a promising start, this book was disappointing. The novelty of the setting wore off quickly, and the characters were largely two dimensional.
I enjoyed this quiet, absorbing read about a murder in Shenzhen, told from different perspectives. Both Chinese and ex-pat protagonists, sympathetic characters, a deep understanding of HK and China but treads lightly. Some wonderful meals (#mademehungry)! I liked the warm, straightforward tone. Not quite, but a little like Murakami.
