Typical I stalment in the judge dee stories. Couple of related interlocking mysteries, mild action, puzzle and satisfying resolution bit in this one about tantric Buddhism, which I hadn’t really encountered (Sting doesn’t count)
Interesting, enjoyed the fox lore though I missed the judges usual assistants
Characters, provided you make allowances for the time and cultural differences, are likable. There is some humor and a nice , twisty mystery with even a slightly gothic flavor. Satisfying ending, as in all the judge dee I have read, with the good rewarded and the bad punished

Judge Dee is insightful, ethically scrupulous and morally strict, slightly softened by compassion. However, in the context of his culture, the use of torture, graphically described, is a legitimate judicial tool. I found these sections uncomfortable reading, but I guess that readers who enjoy "torture porn" movies might get a kick from these sections.
The current (2024) Netflix series excludes torture, but includes a few fight scenes, which I had thought was pandering to the modern vogue for adding martial arts to spice up the action, and was pleasantly surprised to read a few examples of Judge Dee's lieutenants exhibiting their "Chinese boxing and wrestling".
I really enjoyed this, and will continue with van Gulik's self-penned sequels.… (altro)
