The Chinaman by Henning Mankell
Half fascinating and half an utter bore . . . possibly the opposite to some readers. Fascinating plot concerning murders and the exodus of thousands of Chinese forced to work on the west coast of America; but utterly boring to anyone like me who loathes politics; entire chapters are dedicated to just that - and in this case, Chinese politics. Slight relief from hearing about the foul weather which occurs in most of Mankell's books.
