Summary
 LI YAN AND MARGARET CAMPBELL RETURN IN A NEW STORY, YEARS AFTER THE DRAMATIC CONCLUSION OF CHINESE WHISPERS.

'I saw your missing girl at a ghost wedding last week. She was the bride.'

It has been a whirlwind few years for Li Yan and Margaret Campbell. Nowadays, both are busy juggling their huge professional workloads - Li as the newly promoted chief of Beijing's serious crime squad, and Campbell as lecturer at the University of Public Security - with the day-to-day raising of their young son, Li Jon.

When a desperate mother appeals to Campbell's own maternal instincts, Li agrees to look into the disappearance of a 17-year-old Beijing girl, Jiang Meilin.

Yet Li's investigation soon turns from a favour into a full-scale murder enquiry. And when he receives an anonymous note he learns Jiang Meilin's death is tied to a dangerous underground trade, and a dark marital rite from China's past.

Good book to listen to with an interesting story being told. Short interesting store. 😁

interesting story

Book this Short should be bundled. It’s appalling value for one whole credit. Really puts you off this writer. From now on, I will only read his standalone books that are plus 10 hours !

Poor value for money.

Many thanks to Peter May for tying up the loose threads after book 6, and for a short story, Ghost Marriage is a short sharp satisfying way to leave Margaret and Lee. Or will they be back..,???

A sad farewell to China

I was so disappointed with this book. The story was really good but it was way too short! I wasted one of my credits on it, thinking it would be a normal length book like the others in the series.
Peter Forbes, as usual was excellent as narrator.

so Disappointing.

I was hoping that this would be a nice finale to the China Thriller series but it was not. Also, it was too short to be satisfying and so regret purchasing it
