Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly

I am really annoyed that I spent time reading this. I usually avoid thrillers but somehow the hype got me in and I read this one. It’s all on the back cover – a detective in LA gets involved in a murder case with Triad suspects. His daughter lives with his ex-wife in, you guessed it, Hong Kong, a detail which is emphasised so often that you have no doubt about what’s going to happen to the daughter. The ending is just lame too. But then it is a thriller, so what did I expect. 1 star
