A Gripping Read: Perfect for a China Thriller Introduction!
Hello everyone!
I've recently been exploring Eastern literature, mostly within the detective genre.
Lei Mi, born in May 1978, is a Chinese writer who blends psychological thrillers and detective fiction.
I've come across his individual works, but I'm hooked on the 'Fan Mu' series, which features a single main character.
That's where I started, and I'm loving it! I read the first book in this series, 'The Seventh Reader,' through my subscription to Yandex Books.
DESCRIPTION. PLOT. IMPRESSIONS
The detective story kicks off with a unique academic fantasy vibe.
The main character, Fan Mu, is a university student living in a dorm with his friends.
The author takes us through a strict student life with a commanding figure, professors, assignments, libraries, and more.
Then, mysterious murders start happening on campus.
The main character thinks he doesn't know who the killer is, but somehow feels it.
I initially thought the book would have mystical elements, but it doesn't.
He gets this idea to investigate the murders, and what follows is a thrilling and suspenseful ride.
The author's writing style is engaging, and the pacing is well-balanced, making it easy to become fully immersed in the story.
What stood out to me was the way the author handled the investigation.
Fan Mu's approach is methodical and rational, and his friends – the people helping him in the investigation – are shown to be just as serious and mature as him.
This reflects the Eastern mindset, I think.
Another aspect that I found interesting was the parallel storyline – a romance – where the characters aren't named until near the end of the book.
This added an extra layer of complexity to the story and kept me guessing until the very end.
The book has a great plot twist, and the ending is both unexpected and engaging.
I didn't see it coming, and it left me wanting more.
I'd highly recommend 'The Seventh Reader' to anyone who loves a good detective novel!
