pickThe 4th in the China Thrillers begins with a gripping premise - a virus infecting Chinese immigrants that could spark a pandemic. The strongest element is its prescient story nearly 20 years after publication. There is also a heart-stopping conclusion that leaves readers eager for the next book. But the setting in the US doesn't work as well as the other books in the series. An engaging addition, though not the strongest of the series. 3.5/5 ⭐️
pickThis was my first experience reading this author, and I can't say enough how much I enjoyed it! I loved the characters and the story. It was cute, clean, and fun. Highly recommend the #audiobook too as the narrator did a great job.

pickNot only is Attica Locke a very good writer, she‘s a master crafter of stories. This is her debut, and there are some rough bits, but it‘s nonetheless an excellent, complex, well-crafted story. Great social commentary on both capitalism and race.
