Through mystery and intrigue, No Way To Die transports the reader into the complex and engaging world of early Ming China. When a peddler finds a partially mutilated body of a stranger, the unlikely duo of a young scholar and a local women's doctor once more join forces to discover who killed him and why. In probing the highly gendered world of early Ming China, unanticipated questions surface, complicating their investigation. As their case rapidly transitions into the unexpected, they find all roads leading away from the victim, forcing them to consider alternate routes. Was the death the result of inexorable bad karma and beyond their purview, or merely the result of mortal foul play? Was the murdered man the intended victim? If not, who was and why? The investigation leads to a growing list of potential suspects: a lustful herbalist, an unscrupulous neighbor, a vengeful farmer, a jealous husband, a scorned wife, and a band of thieves. Who is innocent and who is the culprit? To solve the murder and bring peace to the victim's spirit, the duo must untangle the truth and do it before the murderer strikes again.Paige Turner, an Amazon reviewer, said of P.A. De Voe's Ming Dynasty Mysteries: "Just as Ellis Peters wrote the immensely popular brother Cadfael mystery series set in Medieval England, P.A. De Voe is establishing quite a reputation for her imaginative and clever mysteries set in early Ming Dynasty China."
