Summary
There were some things about Chief Inspector Wexford's trip to China that he could never have dreamt of: That an old woman would haunt him from one city to the next. That a man would be tragically drowned. Or that, back in England, he would be investigating the murder of one of his fellow tourists.

Great plot
Interesting story and characters as usual - but the narrator just didn’t fit my view of Wexford and Burden.

awful narrator
Great book, ruined by the narrator who rushed through the narration and halfway through switched the accents of two main characters, got quite confusing since Wexford has had the same lovely burr throughout the series thus far, but suddenly he lost it completely and passed it to Burden.

Enjoyable read
Very well narrated and a good story. Not one of the best but enjoyable all the same.

Really liked the structure
The lead up in China was intriguing and a departure for a Wexford book. I didn’t think it was for me at first but then I got totally sucked in

Different reader, same quality
I'm not sure why some reviewers don't like the actor reading this. Sure, it's a bit disorientating when there are at least three different performers reading the available Wexford range; but this was as well done as the rest, merely different.

Learned a lot about China
Really enjoyed the story, but having grown up with George Baker playing Wexford it was hard to hear his and Mike Burdens voices swapped over.

Not my favourite, but still good RR
Not as keen on this narrator as others. IMO he gets Wexford and Burden’s accents the wrong way round. But the story is decent enough and kept me guessing to the end.
