Book # 15, in the Ava Lee series
Ava is in the French Riviera with Pang Fai and Lau Lau for the premiere of Tiananmen at the Cannes Film Festival. The film wins numerous awards and international acclaim. Chen is the producer and soon makes a distribution deal with a major American firm. Several months later the film hasn’t been released Chen is worried and travels to Los Angeles to see what is preventing it to be shown to the public. En route from his home in Bangkok he goes missing.... Ava is called to investigate and the story takes off....
I love this series each installment has its own captivating story. It is sheer pleasure to follow Ava globetrotting experiences. It took some time for the excitement to kick in but after a short while I was completely swept up. As in its predecessors, the plot is complex and fast-paced; the writing style is strong, clever and involving. The story is simply irresistible, once started it is easy to be hooked to the last page. No fear if you read this one out of sequence, it stands well on its own.
Although we have less action than some of the previous stories rather we have much hopping around: plane flights, restaurant meals and lots and lots of wine drinking, oh yes description galore of fancy gala clothes nevertheless I say “The General of Tiananmen Square” is another great caper I enjoyed quite a bit and furthermore it is not a taxing read.
