Summary

The number one best-selling author.

The Beijing Ripper makes a personal vendetta against Detective Li Yan in the sixth and final episode in the China series.

Gruesome murders

His victims are young, beautiful and coldly mutilated. He calls himself the Beijing Ripper. Li Yan, head of Beijing's serious crime squad, must stop him.

Fearsome letters

Just as pathologist Margaret Campbell finds an insight into the killer's sick signature, Li receives a letter from the killer, betraying his cruel intentions.

Chinese whispers

There's no way Li can misinterpret the Ripper's motives: he wants to tear Li and Campbell's lives apart, and write the darkest chapter in Beijing's history.

that's enough

I've absolutely loved this whole China Thriller series although I did feel the material becoming a bit thin on this last episode. It began to feel a bit repetitive and predictable but I carried on to the end, as the characters and style of writing had become familiar and comfortable like putting on an old pair of shoes. The narrator Peter Forbes was superb.

Unusual twist

An interesting concept. Not expected even though given an early clue. I Liked it and found it difficult to put down.

Brilliant thriller

Absolutely great story, and Peter Forbes’ narration was perfect. Really gave a flavour of China in that era. Had to keep listening until the end, it was so gripping.

Riveting Read

This is the second time I have enjoyed this book. It is some time back when I first read it. I couldn't remember all the story, only the basics, plus for some reason I hadn't left a review, big mistake, I should have. The second time round has released my stunted memory of this well crafted book. I was well and truly inside this book watching them with my own eyes. Highly recommend this book that is made even better with Peter Forbes the narrator. Love Peter May 's books narrated Peter Forbes
