Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong
2.0
I found this book terribly slow. I liked the insights into Chinese culture but I was hoping for more of a murder mystery than this book turned out to be.
Also, the hyper-sexualized descriptions of the female characters were disturbing and creepy. I have no idea what any of the men look like, but the women? I know a bit too much detail.
Not sure how I feel about the conclusion. It makes sense within the context of the story, but like the protagonist, I'm not sure if justice is served and whether it's achieved anything.
