Thank you so much! That's one of the four Judge Dee books that are not available via University of Chicago Press in the US, so I'm happy to see it at all, and for £0.99 is even nicer. Now I will have my fingers crossed for the other three:
The Chinese Bell Murders,
The Chinese Nail Murders, and
The Chinese Lake Murders.
And it's on sale at Kobo UK too:

Conspiracies of the Empire, and liked it a lot, even though it had a slightly different feel, since Judge Dee is now a more senior (very senior) official and more politically active than he was in the Van Gulik books. But they are super-expensive, so cross your fingers for your library! As always, if you want to see my full review, it's on my blog...
