The Golden Hairpin by Qinghan CeCeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
We are introduced to a young woman, Huang Zixia, who has lost all her family and is accused of murdering them with poison. She was a prodigy that assisted her father in solving crimes. Her life depends on assisting in solving a string of murders that surround the disappearance of the young princess. By possing as a eunuch in the service of one of the princes she seeks out the culprits involved.
This was a wonderful novel set in ancient China that made me think of some of the famous crime sleuths. I think we can add Huang Zixia to that list as well. Well done!
