Wherever Reggie Wexford goes, death and intrigue are close on his heels. Having just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in China, Wexford finds himself haunted by memories of the old woman with bound feet who mysteriously followed him from one city to the next and the man who tragically drowned.
Now, back in England, he finds himself investigating the murder of a fellow tourist. Knowing that the clue to these three mysteries lies in the East, Wexford turns his investigative skills to that place of unfathomable and sinister depths...
Customer Reviews
Interesting Story, Easy Read
Easy and entertaining, finished in 2 days. Always like Wexford. The plot is, however, bit old-fashioned with too many coincidences. The real killler seems to have come out from no where. The motive stands but there was not really a connection between the results from all previous investigations to this final conclusion... So ending was quite abrupt and a bit less convincing.
