Critics Review
Praise for Lucky “A
Praise for Lucky“Chang, who was born and raised and still lives in Chinatown, evokes his neighborhood with loving detail.” —AARP “A turbo-charged requiem for a blood brotherhood rooted in an impossibly distant past.”—Kirkus Reviews “Yu struggles between his loyalties formed growing up in New York’s Chinatown and his role as a police officer in the very same neighborhood… The sparse writing infused with Chinatown culture will appeal to those who are drawn to noir mysteries with a rich cultural component.”—Library JournalPraise for the Detective Jack Yu Investigations“Exciting and absorbing.”—The Wall Street Journal“For readers who relish noir suspense, it doesn’t get any better than this.”—The Boston Globe“Chang writes in a strong, tight style and shares an insider’s look at Chinese-American culture.”—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine“Classic noir, filled with longing, violence, and that uniquely urban melancholy, but it also brings something new to the table, a loving specificity of a people and place, the multicultures of New York’s Chinatown, that has rarely if ever been encountered in fiction before. A real discovery.”—Richard Price, author of Lush Life
