She partners with a rebellious but morally upright police inspector and learns many secrets behind the palace walls. The Red Palace follows a female palace nurse in her quest to solve a mass murder, exonerte her foster mother, and bring the real killer to justice. Starting in the Joseon era, Korea followed strict Neo-Confucian beliefs in a much harsher fashion than Imperial China. During much of Korea’s past, it was a very isolated country. Korea was not always the technology forward, modern country you see in K-dramas. ![]() June Hur writes police mysteries set in Korea’s historical past. I enjoyed the Red Palace quite a bit and will re-read it in the future. A reader can see a definite improvement in writing from the first book, The Silence of Bones, to The Red Palace. The Red Palace is the third book by YA author June Hur and her best to date. Despite my age, one genre I favor is Young Adult (teen) fiction as they generally are well written since it is a competitive market. ![]() Brand New YA Book, The Red Palace, by June HurĪs you have undoubtedly discerned, I am a voracious if somewhat selective reader. ![]()
