A Calamitous Chinese Killing
A Calamitous Chinese Killing | Shamini Flint
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Inspector Singh's expertise is required in China in his sixth adventure, as he battles political intrigue to get to the bottom of a very murky and complex crime Inspector Singh is on a mission to China, against his better judgment. The son of a bigwig at the Singapore Embassy has been bludgeoned to death in a back alley in Beijing. The Chinese security insist that he was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but the young man's mother demands that Singapore's finest (in his own opinion) rides to the rescue. But solving a murder in a country that practices socialism "with Chinese characteristics" is a dangerous business, and it soon becomes apparent that getting to the bottom of this calamitous killing will be his toughest case yet.

Well, international to me seeing as I live in neither China nor Singapore. 🙂 I am not much of a mystery reader, but I chose this to read to fulfill the mystery requirement in a readers advisory class...and I rather enjoyed it! Inspector Singh is a hoot! It's the sixth book in the series, and while there's a few references to earlier events, it's not crucial to read in order. #internationalcrime #FeistyFeb

Moray_Reads These look like fun, I usually turn to light-hearted crime (if that makes sense!) When I need a palate cleanser 7y
LindsayReads @Moray_Reads It was a lot of fun! Though I did try to go back and start from the beginning and found the writing a bit clunky. Maybe it's best to read what you feel like in the series. 😊 7y
