The Trail to Buddha's Mirror (Neal Carey Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: Good writer----very average story.
Review: This chase takes place in California, Hong Kong and China. While in California I found it quite a good ride.

As soon as it left these shores and went to Hong Kong and China it grounded to nearly a halt for me. It got very heavy on travelogue and way too much on the poilitics of the region. These boring passages only accentuated the preposterous situations the protagonist got in and out of.

I did like Neal Carey and some of his support team. Mr. Winslow's writing style was fine and I will try another Neal Carey, but will make certain it takes place in the USA.

This could be an enjoyable series and lead character, but the setting for this book just bored me beyond words. If you care about China and its politics it's probably a big winner.
