The Perfect Crime Doesn’t Exist

One beautiful morning, Zhang Dongsheng pushes his wealthy in-laws off a remote mountain.

It's the perfect crime. Or so he thinks.

For Zhang did not expect that teenager Chaoyang and his friends would catch him in the act. An opportunity for blackmail presents itself and the kids start down a dark path that will lead to the unravelling of all their lives.

Dark, heart-stopping, and violent, Bad Kids is the suspense thriller that has taken China by storm, proving that anyone has what it takes to become a killer.

As the narrative twists and turns it’s impossible to stop listening. It is so dark and just when you think things can’t get worse, it does. I don’t want to go into specifics because I think going into the story blind is the best way to experience it.

I personally loved the ending. It confronts the reader and forces them to wrestle with the moral dilemma. What would we do if we were the retired police officer? And what does that mean about us as a person?

The narration is excellent and the translation from Chinese into English is particularly good.

10/10- I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Dark, violent and completely gripping.
