Description
The Frangipani Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu is set in 1930s Singapore, a time of great change and upheaval. When two deaths occur at Government House, Su Lin, a young local girl with traditional skills and intelligence, must help solve the murders and uncover the truth.
As an aspiring journalist trying to escape an arranged marriage, Su Lin takes on the role of governess for the Acting Governor's daughter, only to find herself in the midst of a killer stalking the corridors of Government House. With the help of British-born Chief Inspector Thomas LeFroy, Su Lin must use her wit and practicality to unravel the mystery and stay alive.
This charming crime novel brings 1930s Singapore to life with rich detail, while also delivering a classic puzzle plot. Su Lin is a compelling narrator, whose slyly witty voice and admirable qualities make her a joy to read about.
