Reviews

" We've all heard ofThe No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Alexander McCall Smith's bestselling novels about a female private detective from Botswana. Now it's China's turn. On the surfaceThe Eye of Jadeis a classic detective fiction with lots of underworld contacts and hushed conversations in noodle bars, but underneath, Liang, who fled China after her involvement in the student protests in Tiananmen Square, is doing something much more than an examination of China old and new. There's an incredible tension between old Communist China and a new capitalist future; this tension is at the heart of the novel. This novel takes on subjects that in the past would have been censored." -- Mark Coles, BBC, "An exquisitely written book, with the added bonus of a great plot and an engaging leading lady."--The Sun-Herald(Sydney, Australia), "We've all heard of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," Alexander McCall Smith's bestselling novels about a female private detective from Botswana.
