It's especially intriguing that the PI is based out of a closed and warped country like North Korea. And I think the author pulls off the character well.Prashant C.

I have some options!<br /><br />Only 7 hours plus a bit of book ordering left to me before the new embargo kicks in! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-28713426540664242832014-12-31T07:37:27.491-08:002014-12-31T07:37:27.491-08:00I don't think I've ever read any book set ...I don't think I've ever read any book set in either Korea, so I'll have to give this series some consideration.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-77182377982829435062014-12-30T23:52:57.628-08:002014-12-30T23:52:57.628-08:00Tracy - the first sounds quite chilling and I hope...Tracy - the first sounds quite chilling and I hoped the others were if not stronger at least at the same level....hmm. Like you, I hope my experience is better than yours and Glens - time will tell. I was intrigued by the setting also. Spooky how you were reading about South Korea with Martin Limon recently. I don't think I have read a crime novel in either locale. I have read some bits on the Korean War though.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-67338278702707300232014-12-30T23:35:22.404-08:002014-12-30T23:35:22.404-08:00Glen and I have read four of the James Church book...Glen and I have read four of the James Church books. We really really liked the 1st one, but for me the later ones were not as compelling. I guess we kept trying hoping that they would match the level of the first one. But I have also read many many positive reviews, so I hope your experience with the series is better. I look forward to your reviews. The setting of North Korea is very interesting to me.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
