About this listen

Li Yan and Margaret Campbell return in a new story, years after the dramatic conclusion of Chinese Whispers.

'I saw your missing girl at a ghost wedding last week. She was the bride.'

It has been a whirlwind few years for Li Yan and Margaret Campbell. Nowadays, both are busy juggling their huge professional workloads - Li as the newly promoted chief of Beijing's serious crime squad and Campbell as lecturer at the University of Public Security - with the day-to-day raising of their young son, Li Jon.

When a desperate mother appeals to Campbell's own maternal instincts, Li agrees to look into the disappearance of a 17-year-old Beijing girl, Jiang Meilin. Yet Li's investigation soon turns from a favour into a full-scale murder enquiry. And when he receives an anonymous note, he learns Jiang Meilin's death is tied to a dangerous underground trade and a dark marital rite from China's past.

A sad farewell to China

Many thanks to Peter May for tying up the loose threads after book 6, and for a short story, Ghost Marriage is a short sharp satisfying way to leave Margaret and Lee. Or will they be back..,???

Poor value for money.

Book this Short should be bundled. It’s appalling value for one whole credit. Really puts you off this writer. From now on, I will only read his standalone books that are plus 10 hours !
