Inspector Chen and the Private Kitchen Murder by Xiaolong Qiu


Inspector Chen has been moved from the policeforce is now the director of Shanghai Judicial System Reform Office.  He went after the truth and didn't listen to those above him who had other ideas.

Canongate Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).It has been published so you can grab a copy now.

When another murder is found, he asks his secretary to find out some things for him.  She likes doing it and soon is asking her own questions.

This takes some time and not everyone is telling the truth.  Chen is sent away, so she sends messages on her phone.  Chen tries to make sense of what he hears but it's not coming clear yet.  Then he gets an emergency text from his secrtary.  Will he be in time to save her?
