One of the most effective of the Dee novels, for its political and sexual intrigue, though very grim (  ) antiquary | May 19, 2008 |  This is my second experience with a Judge Dee Mystery, and if anything, it was even better than the first. (Full review at my blog) ( ) Poodlerat | Feb 25, 2008 | See the Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee by Van Gulik (  ) primarysource | Mar 16, 2007 | # 4 in the Judge Dee series. Judge Dee travels throughout China to serve as magistrate. In this installment, he is in Han-yuan, where the case he is supposed to investigate involves embezzlement. However, as in all of these books, a number of different mysteries arise: the popular courtesan disappearance of the top courtesan Almond Blossom and the replacement of the body of a dead bride with a man who had most obviously been murdered. Add the White Lotus sect (a notoriously dangerous sect of rebels) and Judge Dee has a full plate here. Recommended for people who enjoy books set in China, or who like historical mysteries.
