Story4 out of 5 stars 24
An explosive news story shatters Singapore’s famous tranquility—and sends a chill down the spine of every domestic worker. Flordeliza Martinez, a Filipina maid, has been arrested for murdering her female employer. The three women don’t know the accused well, but she could be any of them; every worker knows stories of women who were scapegoated or even executed for crimes they didn’t commit. Shocked into action, Donita, Corazon, and Angel will use their considerable moxie and insight to piece together the mystery of what really happened.

Compelling story-important subject!

I thought the narrator did an excellent job and the story was compelling. I was often horrified by the unfairness and cruelty that the workers had to suffer. Loved the LGBTQ elements, too.
This raised my consciousness about some of the things migrant workers must navigate (or withstand) and to be able to do that within a mystery story is quite a feat. I’ll be recommending this to everyone, including my book clubs.
