I am now a committed fan of Stephen leather with more of his books on my kindle than any other author. I find it quite amazing that a man with his background can be so knowledgable of so many different facets of life. Like his other books this one must have been accuratley researched in depth. it is this that keeps me coming back to Leather. Even though he has written so many books none seem to overlap with other stories. With the "Hungry Ghost" you not only get a thrilling fast moving story but a description of life in the cities in the story bangkok and Hong Kong. It is obvious from this and other stories that Stephen has lived worked and researched in these cities like he has done with all of his books that I have read. Even his inspector Zhang books do not disapoint. I gave this book five starts for its"readabiltiy" plot and pace there was only one disapointment for me in this book and that was not following through to the conclusion of one of the Charachters. However perhaps to cross the T;s and dot the eyes may have taken it another few pages and it was exciting enough with what was written.

I loved this book - its a touch dated as its written about HK pre-handover but its a great story with an interesting range of characters. One of Stephen's better efforts.

Even though I I’ve read them all some were a very long time ago so I re-bought all the ones I didn’t have on e-books, I have a full house now, and will enjoy many a long day re-reading them.
