Beauty and the Bounty Book

This is actually one of those sui generis sequels that is an improvement upon the original. It is entirely possible it's just a personal subject preference due to the fact that this book deals with a serial killer and the first one had more to do with gangsters. But this book also didn't try as much to be funny, it was as entertaining and light as a book about a serial killer can be, but not in your face joke after joke sort of thing. Policing the British colony of Hong Kong has never been easy, but the detectives in the story manage, all while maintaining a good humor and utilizing solid procedural work. Fun, enjoyable, very quick read.
