About this listen

The number one best-selling author.

The Beijing Ripper makes a personal vendetta against Detective Li Yan in the sixth and final episode in the China series.

Gruesome murders

His victims are young, beautiful and coldly mutilated. He calls himself the Beijing Ripper. Li Yan, head of Beijing's serious crime squad, must stop him.

Fearsome letters

Just as pathologist Margaret Campbell finds an insight into the killer's sick signature, Li receives a letter from the killer, betraying his cruel intentions.

Chinese whispers

There's no way Li can misinterpret the Ripper's motives: he wants to tear Li and Campbell's lives apart, and write the darkest chapter in Beijing's history.

Chinese Whispers is well written and told by the May/Forbes partnership. You can feel the tension and frustration building in the characters as the story line unfolds against the race of time. It keeps you guessing throughout.

I have finished listening to all the China Thriller books now and each one has been totally engrossing and engaging because of Peter May's outstanding story writing and the absorbing characters that he creates. All of these books are bought brilliantly to life by the exceptional narration of Peter Forbes who makes the characters so real and believable that you feel you know them!

These books are fabulous entertainment and will not disappoint the listener. My only regret is the I have finished all of them and must sadly say goodbye to Margaret and Lee.

Compelling story yet again

I was outraged by the way that this writer treated his readers. After building a great story, it was about to come to the climax of suspense, and then nothing. This book, which was not unduly long didn’t bother to resolve a few really important issues for his readers. We never found out if Lee got rehired by the police force.c or whether Margaret was deported the next day without her son. And generally have the most important part of the book was truncated. And to add insult to injury. The next book was one hour and 45 minutes for The payment of one credit. And did it still ignored those situations. I won’t be reading any more series by this author. We should not have to pay a whole credit for an hour and a half. Of reading. I’m

As a standalone, it was fine.

The usual rushed ending with no explanation! The storylines are getting more and more ridiculous. Makes out the top brass in Beijing totally corrupt - yet again. Thank God it's the last in the series although if we want to know what happened to Li and Margaret we have to purchase a 1 hour Novella for 1 credit (ie 14.95). what a rip-off Peter May!!

Another rushed ending
