Flower Net, by Lisa See
I am so glad I stumbled upon Lisa See's books. She writes about Chinese and Chinese American culture, and she comes from Chinese stock herself.
Flower Net is the first book in the Red Princess Mysteries, about a Chinese detective, Liu Hulan, seeking to solve the mysterious deaths of two young men, one found in China, one found off the coast of California, both with similar deaths.
This book, being a mystery rather than just historical fiction, is a little different than her other writing, but can still be appreciated for its authenticity of writing about the culture. I have two other books in this series, looking forward to reading them.
