Watch out, Inspector Singh. Your redoubtable wife, Mrs. Singh, might just be muscling in on your territory, and in the process proving to be quite the scene-stealer. I have read all the Inspector Singh books, loved them all, and reviewed most of them here in this blog. Indeed in a …
I am a card carrying Jake Needham fan, and of all his wonderful cast of characters, I think Samuel Tay is possibly my favourite. I love Mr.Tay’s outspoken, curmudgeonly take on his home country Singapore, but it was precisely this very fact that slightly marred my enjoyment of the latest …
Although I tell myself I really don’t care what other people think, secretly I was a little worried at quite how much I enjoyed “Crazy Rich Asians”. So obviously I googled reviews of the book, & was relieved beyond measure when I read this comment in a 2013 review of …
