This book is a platonic Chinese love story disguised as a Tibetan/Navajo murder mystery, which manages to make excellent social and world commentary while being a rivetting story. "you live in a fairy world" -how many times have I heard this (in 4 languages)! Now, I feel vindicated. And yes, the cost is high, but in the end, worth it.

(Holocene Era) ---- Este libro es la historia de un amor sin sexo de dos Chinos, disfrazado como misterio de matanza Tibetano/Navajo, lo cual logra a hacer excelentes comentarios sociales mientras siendo una historia imnensa. "vives en un mundo de hadas" -cuantas veces he oido eso (en 4 idiomas)! Ahora, me siento absolvado (Vindicado?). Y si, cuesta mucho, pero en fin, lo vale. ShiraDestinie fecha de hoy : Domingo, 2 Nov. 2014 fecha Universal: Jueves, 2 Noviembre, 12014 e.H. (era Holocéno) The only thing that makes a good mystery novel better is one in which the author teaches. You might learn how to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight or in the case of this one the cultural and religious similarities between Tibetans and Navajos. My only critique is the pacing of the novel is extremely slow; painfully slow, thus making a 5 star mystery reduced to a three star read. Another Shan mystery located in Tibet. Shan is summoned to a remote village to save an elderly monk. He finds murder, gold, a Chinese scientist and his nephew as well as a Navajo women tracing cultures of both Tibet and the Navajo. As always the reader is educated about Tibet and its cultures as Shan solves the case mindfully. Recommended näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The recent murders are only part of a chain of deaths. Together with his friends, the monks Gendun and Lokesh, Shan solves the riddle of Dragon Mountain, the place "where world begins."
