Description
Set in colonial Singapore, this atmospheric historical mystery follows housekeeper and amateur sleuth Su Lin as a troubling crime draws her into a web of secrets spanning the island’s sharply divided communities. As she investigates, long-buried rivalries, family loyalties, and the pressures of a changing society come to light. Rich in period detail and infused with Ovidia Yu’s keen social observation, the novel combines a compelling puzzle with a vivid portrait of Singapore’s history, culture, and complex human relationships.
