Praise for Ovidia Yu:
'Chen Su Lin is a true gem. Her slyly witty voice and her admirable,
sometimes heartbreaking, practicality make her the most beguiling
narrator heroine I've met in a long while' Catriona McPherson
'Charming and fascinating with great authentic feel. Ovidia Yu's teenage
Chinese sleuth gives us an insight into a very different culture and
time. This book is exactly why I love historical novels' Rhys Bowen
'A wonderful detective novel . . . a book that introduces one of the
most likeable heroines in modern literature and should be on everyone's
Must Read list' Scotsman
'Unassuming, brilliantly observant' SCMP
'Ovidia Yu's writing helped me peel back the layers to understand
Singapore. The story and Chen Su Lin's initiative and tenacity, set
against a backdrop of wartime Singapore, intrigued both the historian
and the mystery lover in me' Kara Owens CMG CVO, British High
Commissioner to Singapore
