adventurous mysterious medium-paced

4.25

Paper Bark Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu (#3 in the Crown Colony mysteries) Su Lin has been working in the Detective Shack but then Bernie takes over and she loses her job to a pretty white woman who seems more interested in her looks than in filing. Then Bernie is found dead. All of this is in the days leading up to WWII, The Japanese invasion of China, and India's fight for Independence. I don't want to give too much away except there is very little LeFoy in this book (I really like him) and there is of course a good reason but it makes for a lot of sleuthing on Su Lin's part.
