The Frangipani Tree

Singapore, 1936. Historical crime fiction. When the Irish nanny looking after the Acting Governor’s daughter dies suddenly, in mysterious circumstances, mission school-educated local girl Su Lin – an aspiring journalist trying to escape an arranged marriage – is invited to take her place.  But then another murder at the residence occurs and it seems very likely that a killer is stalking the corridors of Government House. It now takes all Su Lin’s traditional skills and intelligence to help British-born Chief Inspector Thomas LeFroy solve the murders – and escape with her own life.
