A small update since my last posting:
I finished
Snake Agent (the first Detective Inspector Chen book) and LOVED it. (My review is linked in my sig if anyone wants to check it out.) Definitely recommended reading for those who love sci-fi/fantasy/mysteries.
I also read
Doc Sidhe, and while it wasn't as good as
Snake Agent it was entertaining and had some interesting things in it. It's not as much of a mystery as an action/adventure novel, but there are hints of mystery in it, if that counts?
And now I've started on the Lord Darcy story collection. It's quite good; definitely feels like something related to Lord Peter Whimsy, if that interests any of you (or maybe more like Ellery Queen?). The alternate history part is a bit confusing to me since I'm not entirely sure what Richard III
did that keeping him alive would change history so much, but I'm sure a trip to Wikipedia will fix me up.
