Red Blossom in Snow: A Lotus Palace Mystery Kindle Edition
A heart-wrenching and uplifting story of murder and forbidden love in the Tang Dynasty. Selected as a New York Times "100 Notable Books of 2022" and "Best Romances of 2022".
Magistrate Li Chen harbors a secret. One that could destroy his hard-earned reputation, as well as his growing passion for the talented courtesan, Song Yi.
Li Chen’s duty to his family and the Emperor must come before the desires of his heart, but when a stranger to the city is found dead near the House of Heavenly Peaches, where Song Yi is indentured, the complicated nature of their relationship becomes the least of his troubles.
For Song Yi, Magistrate Li’s gentlemanly, late night conversations provide a welcome change from the games of courtship she is accustomed to, but his reserved attention won’t pay the bills. When one of her courtesan-sisters goes missing at the same time a stranger is killed in the pleasure quarter, she and Li Chen embark on an investigation as well as a passionate affair. But the riddle they uncover goes deeper than they could have imagined, and mysteries from their pasts may shatter any hope for the future.

Red Blossom in SnowIn Red Blossom in Snow, Magistrate Li Chen and courtesan Song Yi reconnect to solve a murder that happened near the House of Heavenly Peaches, the pleasure house where Song Yi is indentured. The two had been slowly forming an attachment that both knew could never grow into something more, before Li Chen withdrew and stopped courting Song Yi several months before the story opened. But now that her livelihood is in danger, Song Yi must put her feelings aside and work with Li Chen to untangle mysteries from their past and catch a killer.
I love what Jeannie Lin does with her Pingkang Li romances set in Tang Dynasty China so much! They’re such beautiful stories with lots of longing and forbidden romance, and then to pair them with a mystery that the couple has to solve? I can’t get enough!
While I think The Hidden Moon is still my favorite in the series, Red Blossom in Snow is such an excellent addition. It’s a slower paced story, but it’s just sooooooo romantic with sooooooo much yearning. It’s impossible not to get swept up in Song Yi and Li Chen’s romance and wonder how on earth they’re going to get their happily ever after when their positions are seemingly so far apart.
I don’t want to give too much away about the murder they’re trying to solve, but I love how Song Yi and Li Chen slowly come to realize how intertwined their pasts are, from when they first arrived in the capital and weren’t yet introduced to their childhoods back in Yuzhou. It just pairs perfectly to them realizing how much deeper their feelings are for each other than they initially realized.
I wish I had more to say about this book, but it’s one of those stories where I’m like, yes, I loved this and you need to read it, and that’s all I can coherently tell you! Just know that it’s a stunning romance and a beautiful addition to the series, though I think you can easily read this without having read the others. And that cover!! It’s gorgeous, and I can’t wait to put this on my keeper shelf!
I highly recommend picking up a copy of Red Blossom in Snow, though definitely be prepared to devour the rest of the series once you’re done!
I received an arc of Red Blossom in Snow from the author and purchased my own final copy of the ebook.
when a man is found murdered outside the House of Heavenly Peaches, Magistrate Li Chen gets the opportunity to begin a relationship with Song Yi: a courtesan.

Lin's strength as a writer lies in her characterization. Each character is a fully-realized person, with their own motivations. Since we experience the world of the Pingkang Li through the characters' eyes, each book gives us a different perspective of the setting. Her use of recurring characters also serves to broaden our understanding of their world.
As always, we highly recommend this series!
