This is the first book in this series. These books by S,J,Rozan have so much substance that it really doesn't matter what order you read them in. I have read and enjoyed perhaps four in the series, before this one. This book does provide much depth in discussing the Chinese Community in New York City and the area that they live in. Through the use of Lydia's elderly mother, we learn much about the ways of Chinese families, both in the USA and China. Also how members relate to each other here and other relatives still in China. Like any small community the ways of those who work and reside there are known and the author develops this in her many books in this series. It is more than just a Mystery Book, but also a sociological study of the characters involved. A joy to read.
