At first, I was amazed by how Shawe Ruckus started the story in his book. The story All Body Bags and No Knickers will surprise you with every twist and turn in its episodes. The main focus of the story is between these two engaged couples, Chance Yang, a Chinese man, and Catherine E. Roxborough, a British woman, who are about to get married. During their journey, they went on a trip to China to celebrate their honeymoon and spend time with Chance's family as well. Unexpectedly, many things unfold with mysterious events.

My favorite part of the story was when Chance and Catherine organized a gathering for family and friends, and the venue was remarkable, held on the rooftop of a bar. They share and have fun together, discussing different issues. Some of them come from different places, and they are all living in London. I am also delighted by the various cultures highlighted within the story. The author's unique narrative approach includes flashbacks of the past as part of the story. Readers will be prompted to contemplate the story's underlying message as it unfolds, encouraging them to inquire about the true events and the identities of those involved. I cherish the different cuisines introduced when they have their meals with their families and friends.

What doesn't soothe me in the story are the superstitious beliefs that they have discussed. I'm not pleased with the crimes and bad news brought up in some of its chapters. Additionally, I dislike how the story concludes because I can't find the final answer to what really happened. It's all based on assumptions. I'm not sure if I've figured out the answer to the problem as I read towards the end of the story. There is a possible answer, but it's not guaranteed. It's challenging to grasp.

Considering the negative aspects that I've shared, I would like to rate the book 4 out of 5 stars. As for the editing issues during my reading, I didn't come across any errors, indicating the book is well edited.

I would recommend this book to those who enjoy thrilling and suspenseful stories, especially those who have a passion for solving mysteries to the best of their ability.
