|author= Jan-Philipp Sendker
|title= Dragon Games
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary= The putative cover of my advance copy of ''Dragon Games'' ties it to the international bestseller ''The Art of Hearing Heartbeats'' – Sendker's first offering in English translation. I'm hoping that the final edition that hits the market will have the confidence to reference ''Whispering Shadows'' to which this is the direct sequel. My hope is because the step between the first two Burmese books and the modern China mystery ones is a significant one. Many readers will love both, but I think the less lyrical, more prosaic, dare I say more political approach of the Chinese stories has a wider readership. It is a readership Sendker deserves.

|summary= They're an ordinary family, by modern standards. Richard and wife Nicola have split up, but are on reasonably amicable terms. The kids stay over with their Dad often enough. He makes time for them and their friends. Ok, so fourteen year old Harvey is dyslexic and has been diagnosed as having ADHD. He's also got a quick temper. But he's very protective of his little sister, 12-year-old Olive.
