Why read it?
1 author picked Night Heron as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I've been reading spy fiction for years, but until I came across this book, I had never read one set in China. The author immersed me in a previously unknown world, with characters and settings that kept me glued to the page. The writing reminds me of John LeCarre's novels: convoluted, yet plausible plot twists set against a background of tragedy. This book is the first in a trilogy. Fingers crossed that Brookes will expand the series.
