It's really good! Every book in the Xu Changsheng Detective series is excellent. It features both simple and complex cases, with each book being an episodic case, one after another, without any flirting or filler text. The author is clearly a veteran; this isn't some simplistic, amateurish writing. I have over 200 detective novels on my bookshelf, and this kind of fast-paced story is one of the best.
Through meticulous observation and logical deduction, the author unearths clues from bizarre crime scenes. The episodic format, with one case following another, maintains a tight pace and logical reasoning. While some cases may seem a bit far-fetched, the author manages to bring them to a satisfying conclusion. Each case reveals the darker side of human nature.
Author, author! Old Xu is now at the deputy director level, able to interact with even higher-ranking figures. Please write more anti-corruption and drug bust cases! These types are incredibly captivating and addictive! 💕💕💕 I've finished reading your entire Xu Changsheng series.
The author writes very well, and it has a lot of legal education value. Because of some cases, I always think about calling the police—why didn't I? Some situations are so regrettable. Wu Yiming, who sought revenge for his father, was so outstanding it's heartbreaking. Perhaps, just like his name suggests, he was a brilliant but ultimately unsuccessful man.
It's a good watch. The only downside is that in Zhang Cheng's case, Xia Yuansong's father was mentioned suddenly disappearing earlier, but he was never mentioned again after the case ended. His father just vanished without a trace.
I'll be heartbroken if anyone doesn't follow the Xu Changsheng series, okay? Where else can I find a novel with logic, no messy romantic subplots, and a single-minded focus on solving cases in an episodic format?! I've read many novels and don't like book reviews, but I've only reviewed five novels, three of which are from this series. Come and read them all!!!
This author writes very well; the logic is clear. I can't get into other books because they seem too easy to solve and look strange, but this author's writing is different. Anyway, once you finish reading, you'll be hooked. I hope the author can update more often; I've been listening to it since last year and I absolutely love it now.
I've been following this book since the first one, and I feel the author's writing style is getting better and better. Every case is so detailed. In several stories in this book, you wouldn't even know who the murderer is until the very end. I hope the author keeps updating at a fast pace, haha 😄😄
I've gradually finished reading almost all of Xu Changsheng's detective stories. The author writes really well, from city case files to the three major unsolved cases and then to the ancient city case files. Every piece of writing is captivating for the reader.
I've been following this series since the first one, and now Captain Xu has become Director Xu 🤭
