In You or Me, a noir style detective mystery with a creative, psychological twist, Michael expertly showcases the writing skills that he's honed over the past few years.

As with any great detective story, Michael offers a tale filled with subtle clues and deceptive red herrings. It is a credit to his tremendous plot construction that even though his ending is shocking, his cleverest readers can solve the case along with Oliver, this mystery's lead detective. It is a dark, mature story that keeps readers hooked.

在小说《你，还是我》中，Michael采用了一种暗黑系侦探小说的风格，在情节关键处又有一个让读者意想不到的主人公心理层面的转折。可以说，Michael把他在过去几年中学到的写作技巧，都倾注在了这部作品当中。

就像很多其他的伟大的侦探小说，Miachael的小说在情节推进中也“埋伏”了许多微妙的线索或看似无关的内容。虽然故事结尾出人意料，但聪明的读者会在阅读过程中得到关于侦探Oliver真相的各种提示。当然，这都要归功于作者本身的匠心独运。

总体来说，这部作品是一部成熟的暗黑风格小说，相信读者们会被这个故事深深地吸引。

A novel that bleeds style. Every single page of Nini Zhu’s book, Vampire Hunter, oozes style. If Nicolas Winding Refn wrote books this is what they would look like.
