'One of Singapore's finest living authors' South China Morning Post
'One of the most likeable heroines in modern literature' SCOTSMAN
________________
What does the immediate future hold for Su Lin and Le Froy?
Singapore 1947, and Su Lin and Le Froy start their married life with a honeymoon in the Cameron Highlands, an idyllic pocket of English countryside in the tropical rainforest, on assignment to protect a rubber plantation owner and his wife who fled there after the murder of their neighbours.
Threats and ghostly sightings follow Boss Max and his wife, escalating after Elfrieda vanishes, leaving nothing but a cache of rotting fruit from the rose apple tree outside her lodge. Boss Max is desperate-his precious emeralds are missing along with his beautiful wife...
Trapped in the isolated area until the monsoon floods subside, Su Lin had hoped to use the time to get to know her new husband but then when Boss Max is founded murdered in a locked room with more rose apples scattered around the corpse, she and Le Froy must work together try to prevent further deaths --including theirs.
Praise for Ovidia Yu:
'Chen Su Lin is a true gem. Her slyly witty voice and her admirable, sometimes heartbreaking, practicality make her the most beguiling narrator heroine I've met in a long while' Catriona McPherson
'Charming and fascinating with great authentic feel. Ovidia Yu's teenage Chinese sleuth gives us an insight into a very different culture and time. This book is exactly why I love historical novels' Rhys Bowen
'A wonderful detective novel . . . a book that introduces one of the most likeable heroines in modern literature and should be on everyone's Must Read list' Scotsman
'Unassuming, brilliantly observant' SCMP
'Ovidia Yu's writing helped me peel back the layers to understand Singapore. The story and Chen Su Lin's initiative and tenacity, set against a backdrop of wartime Singapore, intrigued both the historian and the mystery lover in me' Kara Owens CMG CVO, British High Commissioner to Singapore
