Shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger 2021

Mirza, a secretive neighbour of the Chens in Japanese Occupied Singapore, is a known collaborator and blackmailer. So when he is murdered in his garden, clutching a branch of mimosa, the suspects include local acquaintances, Japanese officials - and his own daughters.

Su Lin's Uncle Chen is among those rounded up by the Japanese as reprisal. Hideki Tagawa, a former spy expelled by Police Officer Le Froy and a power in the new regime, offers Su Lin her uncle's life in exchange for using her fluency in languages and knowledge of locals to find the real killer.

Su Lin soon discovers Hideki has an ulterior motive. Friends, enemies and even the victim are not what they seem. There is more at stake here than one man's life. Su Lin must find out who killed Mirza and why, before Le Froy and other former colleagues detained or working with the resistance suffer the consequences of Mirza's last secret.

This is the best Ovidia Yu about life in occupied Singapore. A taste of a culture I know nothing about - mixed races/religions and all the taboos associated. I know it is not accurate but it made me want to know more. Loved the detail about the globe and the triangle of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.

Best yet. Slice of Singapore life

Unbelievably good, murder mystery set in Singapore. It was so riveting I could hardly put it down. I loved the main character who is smart and funny and still very, very human. The reader is a delight.

Wonderful!

Once again, the narrator was perfect for this book. By now, character development is strong and backstories are coming to fruition. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a bit of mystery, history and good characters.

Best Su Lin story so far!
