The Frangipani Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu

4.0

Delightful historical mystery with a setting I personally have not read much about -- 1930s Singapore while it was still a British colony. Yu does an excellent job not only illustrating the physical components of the setting but also examining the various effects of imperialism, class, patriarchy, race and language. I look forward to reading more about budding lady detective Su Lin, and fortunately my library has more of this series.
