Hart has written an intriguing mystery but it’s the deft interweaving of Chinese culture—poetry, art, and even tea—into the tale that has depth. Gorgeously written and full of surprises, Elsa Hart delivers a book laced with magical tales, a nefarious murder, and engaging characters all dwelling deep within the historical backdrop of 18th century China. "Jade Dragon Mountain" is a novel I thoroughly enjoyed.
