Judge Dee--Confucian Imperial magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger, based on a famous statesman--was Dutch diplomat and Chinese cultural historian Robert van Gulik's (1910-67) lasting invention. A welcome addition to the elite canon of fictional detectives, the Judge steps in to investigate homicide, theft, and treason and restores order to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty. In Murder in Ancient China's first story, we watch as Judge Dee attempts to solve the mystery of an elderly poet murdered by moonlight in his garden pavilion; in the second, set on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Judge makes two rare mistakes--will peril result?… (plus d'informations)

A quick, enjoyable read and a good introduction to Judge Dee. The mysteries themselves weren't terribly difficult to figure, and this ebook had several punctuation / spelling / formatting errors that proved to be distracting. But it has me interested in further writing by van Gulik, which was probably the point. ( )

Two short stories featuring Judge Dee -- nothing too special. ( )

Short mysteries are almost always slightly disappointing, these too-brief tales are no exception. I enjoyed reading about Judge Dee again. I first encountered the stories thirty-five or so years ago and was captivated by the settings and pleasures of the ancient world van Gulik crafted.

As a place to start reading the Judge Dee mysteries, I wouldn't recommend the reads; but if a quick hit of a time so remote that it feels more like a fantasy world than an historical epoch is needed then here you are. Those of us who, at some murky moment in the past, devoured the books will get a nostalgic pleasure from them.

But don't expect subtle, character-driven development, there just wasn't room for that in such short works. ( )

These are two short stories (which are included in the longer collection Judge Dee at Work): The Murder on the Lotus Pond and Murder on New Year’s Eve. While the shorts give further insight into Judge Dee’s career, I prefer the longer novels, partly because they seem more realistic in that the Judge will frequently have more than one case at a time. This is alluded to in the shorts, but isn’t brought out. Also, the longer novels bring the Judge’s lieutenants into play.

A decent introduction, and I hope it serves to introduce Judge Dee to a wider audience.

Recommended.

A couple of short stories featuring Judge Dee from Ancient China. The two stories included are "The Murder on the Lotus Pond" and "Murder on New Year's Eve." The first story is a bit longer than the New Year's Eve one. Both show Judge Dee's powers of deductive reasoning. He's kind of like the Sherlock Holmes of China without a regular sidekick like Watson. Although the setting was in ancient China, the stories were so short that the reader didn't completely feel in that setting. I sometimes even wondered how historically accurate certain procedures were, although I didn't discover problems with a couple that I checked. I guess it just seemed a bit odd to me that some of those things would have been around in A.D. 667. This is interesting, but I think I'd like to read a longer work by the author to get a true feel for his work. ( )
