read "Firemaker".

>I found his craftmanship quite excellent. The story
was well plotted. The crime scene in the park was downright
chilling. I had some trouble with the characterization of
Margaret Campbell. I found it unrealistic for her to be so
much the ugly American and so clueless about Chinese culture.
I've never even been there and new most of the tidbits that
May has her learning the hard way. In truth, it's probably
not unrealistic but, for me, it was irritating. It also
seemed a transparent effort to set her up to expand her
horizons.

>Don't get me wrong. Overall, I really enjoyed the
book and I will be reading all of his work I can get my hands
on.
