Medianoche en Pekín (True Crime)

French's vivid descriptions bring the city to life, but I wonder what sources or research methods he relied on to capture that era so accurately.

The way the book intertwines China's shifting political landscape with the murder investigation made me think about how history shapes personal stories. Would love to hear if others felt the same.

The storytelling struck a balance between suspense and cultural commentary, which made me curious about the author's intention behind that approach.
