This is a slow slow descriptive descriptive shallow shallow.

If I were just learning how to write this would be a prefect example. Forty five percent of the book is description. Who cares if Judge Dee has three or four hairs growing out of the mole on his face? And evidently he prefers girls with bushy eyebrows.
Other than that it could be a decent mystery if it did not drag on and on. This may be due to the story being a little too short to publish; it took up three cassettes. The mystery its self is O.K. there is no last minute butlers to show up and confess. Evidently this is part of some Judge Dee series. So someone must like his style.
The story takes place in a monastery where Judge Dee just happens to be passing during a storm and needs a place to stay with his three wives. He whiteness some impossible things and meets some mysterious people.
