Inspector Singh Investigates: A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder

By Shamini Flint

Book Overview

The portly, methodical Inspector Singh is a thorn in the side of his bosses on the Singapore police department, so they send him off to Malaysia to monitor the trial of Chelsea Liew, a Singaporean beauty queen accused of killing her abusive millionaire ex-husband. The plot, revolving around the difference between secular and Islamic custody laws, is unexpectedly intricate and surprising. But the keenest pleasures of this book center on Inspector Singh, and his attempts to see justice served while somehow maneuvering around his excessively zealous sergeant, keeping his white sneakers clean, and scoring the occasional tasty snack.

Customer Reviews

Perfect blend of entertaining storyline and culture!

Enjoyed the storyline and impressed with the character development. As someone who spent a little over a year in Malaysia, this book reminded me of some things I really miss about that country; along with teaching me about some things I hope to experience next time I go. The author explains briefly when mentioning specific cultural things that are not common knowledge so I feel as though I could recommend this book to non-Malaysian experienced persons.
