I discovered this series of crime fiction with a female protagonist by accident.
This series is about a lady...Ava Lee, forensic accountant who's a Canadian citizen of Chinese origin, living in Toronto and travels all over the world (most the far east).
I like this series for many reasons: the plot moves fast; I can get a sense of the crime culture in the far east ...it may be real or untrue but it seems pretty real to me! This is the first series where I seem to get a handle on crime and criminals of the far east countries.
I love the fact that it's a female protoganist
I am loving the fact that he does not spend pages and pages on sex like the other writers seem to do.
I am learning so much about financial crimes and how money travels that I am now accepting that finance or economics need not be boring!
I am seeing how on what a large scale crime exists in certain countries like China. And how the army, governments are involved . And so many things are not even considered as crime! manufacturing of knockoffs especially!
I was shocked to discover that MBA grads and other educated people run criminal organizations! I don't know whether to laugh, get angry or admire!
The style of writing is not great at all but I am a person who is satisfied with a running plot and happy to read about places I have never been.
Here is the list of books.
