Show notes

Sherlock in Shanghai novel marked our entry into Eastern Detective Fiction proper and represents a milestone both for ourselves and for the murder mystery scene in China. Xiaoqing wrote this series after years of translating foreign crime fiction stories and his passion for the genre drove him to attempt to localise these stories using his own characters and scenarios, with the Sherlockian Huo Sang and the Watsonian Bao Lang leading the charge. The stories themselves follow the tenants of a Sherlock murder mystery almost to a T with the Watson narrating, disguises galore and even the thrilling chase scenes we would expect from the greatest detective of all time. The collection takes 14th place on our list for 2020.
