The Murder of Mr. Ma

3.5 If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes and all the modern adaptations, this is a good twist on the series. I think my favorite part though was the definitely all the little details about Chinese life and the atmosphere of London at the time this was taking place. For anyone familiar with the influence of opium on China during this time and England's role in that will appreciate the weaving of it into this story.

I did find the action scenes a bit hard to follow on audio, which is why I'm rounding down my rating, but it's a solid mystery and I would certainly be willing to pick up book 2 in the series and give it a shot.
