Marks of Guilt

This is my first time writing a book review. It's strange that such a good book has so few readers; perhaps it's because it's being serialized! I've recently abandoned many crime novels until I came across this one. The cases are bizarre yet logical, and the book is short and concise. I look forward to the author's writing and hope that more readers will discover this novel!

This is a truly excellent book, but it's not without its flaws. For example, the names of some of the main characters feel pretentious, deliberately mysterious, and attention-seeking. Also, I've read at least five or six other criminal case books where the Ministry of Public Security organizes a special task force, and there always has to be a female police officer and a romantic subplot – is…

I don't know why the rating is so low (maybe because it's too realistic? It touches on some sensitive topics from that era). Personally, I'd give it a 9.9 Out of 10. The writing, the story, and the message are all excellent. The episodic stories, the underlying truths, and the marks of the times are all poignant. What's particularly unique is that the place names are never pseudonyms. June is currently Eid al-Adha in Xinjiang, which is mentioned in the text. That's interesting.

It's a very good read. The author clearly has some professional knowledge; there's no excessive fabrication, and the writing is beautiful and fluent. However, some parts are a bit clichéd, especially the romantic subplot involving the female police officer... And there's the scene where the female police officer is made to act foolishly just to advance the plot.

This is a fantastic book! The case is plausible, and the logic is very clear. It doesn't rely on contrived plot twists; instead, it feels more like a exploration of human nature behind evil! Highly recommended! Let me add a few more points. This is a book fundamentally different from ordinary criminal investigation books; it's a moving and thought-provoking one.

It's incredibly good! It portrays the beauty and ugliness of humanity, the hardships and helplessness of life, and the painful struggles of those at the bottom of society. Seemingly ordinary people possess a radiant strength, courage, kindness, and intelligence. Each case is deeply moving. 👍

This is an absolutely fantastic novel! It's definitely in my top five favorite crime novels. The writing is delicate, beautiful, and quite poetic. The plot is original and captivating without being overly suspenseful. Some parts are chilling, while others are incredibly moving and tear-jerking. The braised chicken story really scared me.

A book whose literary talent rivals that of Zijin Chen, it enriches the reader's knowledge and fills them with endless anticipation. I hope it can be made into a TV series, even though listening to the audiobook already gives me a strong sense of atmosphere.

This is my first time writing a book review, haha! I have to give it a huge thumbs up! The book is tightly paced and doesn't drag, with strong logic and reasoning. I didn't find any major plot holes. The author's writing is excellent, and the cases are very original, especially the descriptions of scenery in Chapter Three—just a few strokes vividly depict the scenes and spark the imagination.

Overall, it's very well written, and the case descriptions are well-organized. The reasons behind some of the cases are thought-provoking. I'm not used to writing very long reviews.
