Summary
The fourth China Thriller, from the million-selling Peter May - author of the Richard and Judy best seller The Blackhouse.
Suffocated
A vehicle crammed with dozens of dead Chinese immigrants is found in Southern Texas. Pathologist Margaret Campbell must put aside her horror and find out why.
Summoned
Detective Li Yan - an even more unwelcome memory for Campbell - has arrived stateside to investigate a link in the case to a lucrative trade in illegal labourers.
Snakehead
Yan and Campbell will soon find that the crime scene hides another secret: a biological time bomb linking traffickers, politicians and migrants in Beijing, Washington and Texas - posing multiple countries one very singular threat.

okay, just confirmed my view of the China series
A very boring and predictable story. The character of Margaret has become rather pathetic and unbelievable, an insult to professional women working in male-dominated work environments. The relationship between Margaret and Lee is unrealistic and the sexual encounter using the horse analogy was cringeworthy.
I've listened to the early China stories and as they have progressed I've become more and more irritated by the characters and their unbelievable behavioural characteristics and stupidity.

Not very good at all
Had been pushing on with this series but did not like this one at all. Although I feel like the romance aspect has been played out a bit too long, I started to notice that some of the language used to describe the lead female had become a bit gratuitous and salacious. Also, while none of the stories have been exactly realistic, this just felt like a total parody- predictable to the last. So that’s it.

Highly enjoyable
Really enjoyable book and series. The twists and turns, though in places predictable, are fast paced and give the reader new philosophical and scientific avenues to explore and question within themselves. The love story lines are certainly not May's strongest areas of writing and characters are often squarely fixed into their stereotypes, but he provides a great piece of escapism for all to enjoy.

Done with this series.
Stupid and unrealistic characters acting in REALLY stupid and unrealistic ways. Apart from the "Spanish Flu" theme surprisingly simplistic writing. Peter May can do better than this. Done with this series.

Must. Buy. Next. Book.
Another exceptional story and narration by the dream team. I really loved this book and I actually enjoy that I work out what will happen. Mostly impressed by how badass Margaret and Lee are getting!

Dissappointed
I enjoyed this series up to this book. Unfortunately I found too many cliches, plus actions which did not ring true, but were there to serve the plot. For example (but avoiding spoilers), I found it preposterous that a character who was already identified as a potentially deadly threat to the nation would be released into the custody of a foreign national. The narration was as excellent as ever. But I admit that I finally decided to give up.
