A Bill Smith/Lydia Chin Novel

Reflecting the Sky

Cindy Lieberman

I had to jump from #3 to #7 in the series. In Lydia’s and Bill’s relationship, much of their teasing and snappy dialogue is gone, replaced by a deeper commitment to their working partnership. I missed the humor from the first two books I read. In this book they are on a mission for Mr Gao that takes them to Hong Kong. Interesting in how Lydia, a NYC Chinatown native, takes to her first trip outside America. She gets to use her Cantonese while Bill employs his Spanish, Dutch and Tagalog in the service of their new case: a kidnapped boy.
