    The Red Lotus looks to be very interesting. Chris Bohjalian lives not far from here, but over the border in Vermont. I wonder what sorts of research he had to do for this one. I'll keep a look out. Thanks!

    These have fabulous covers. I like the settings for the two books also. I’ve read Chris Bohjalian in the past and I liked his work. I hope you enjoy them both!

    Ghost of the Bamboo Road gets my interest with the detective duo in 1566.
    Happy Reading!

    'Detective' fiction set in 16th century Japan is an interesting concept .
