Query: Mystery? No. Enjoyable? Yes.

I'm sure it's been covered in other reviews but "Death of a Red Heroine"is no great mystery novel or police procedural, but, the investigation (in my opinion)is merely a pretext to explore the zeitgeist of post-Tiananmen Shanghai. Overall I found the novel enjoyable enough to pick up "A Loyal Character Dancer" (the next novel in the Chen series).
