A place and time new to me with an appealing and original heroine. I not only learned a lot but wanted to know more. After reading the first book, I immediately got and read the whole series. Each one took me deeper into Singapore under the British, then the Japanese, then after the War as Su Lin's story unfolded as well as providing a fresh mystery and an expanded cast of characters. What I learned about the Japanese and the Chinese in Singapore and the Philippines led me to some fascinating mysteries in my own extended family.
First in a delightfully charming crime series set in 1930s Singapore, introducing amateur sleuth Su Lin, a local girl stepping in as governess for the Acting Governor of Singapore.

Hiding her intelligence and education, Cam accepts menial jobs that will let her stay on the down-low, experiencing the best and worst of the human condition along the way. From her first placement as nanny to two over-achieving teenaged girls in Billings, Montana to…
