The Blue Dragon (Peter Strand Mystery, 1)
ByPublisher Description
A murder at the Blue Dragon, a small apartment building in San Francisco's Chinatown, prompts the absentee owner to hire Chinese American Peter Strand to calm the anxious tenants. But Strand isn't exactly what he appears to be. Neither are the tenants, who on the surface seem to be regular people going about their lives. Strand, a forensic accountant by trade, doesn't intend to investigate the murder, but he soon realizes that this isn't a gang-related killing, as the police believe. The murder was committed by one of the tenants. Finding out which one exposes the secrets of the Blue Dragon and brings Strand face-to-face with a few ghosts of his own.

“I want to preface this review by saying that the version I read was an advanced reader copy and some things may have changed in the finial version.
This book was good. I enjoyed it for the most part. It is short but I think the length is perfect. I love that this book gets straight to the point. It doesn't waste the readers' time by forcing them to read several chapters of seemingly unrelated backstory. I only care about a characters backstory if it's relevant to the plot and this book does this perfectly!
I enjoyed the near constant dialogue. I believe the best mysteries are those in which the detectives gain most of their incite from simply speaking to the other characters. This was done very well.
I give it only three stars though because it lacked something. I can't quite put my finger on what it lacked but there's something. I didn't feel any real emotion reading it. The ending, though not predictable, was still a bit lackluster.
Overall though, a good quick read for mystery lovers!”
