Su Lin Series

Yu Ovidia: The Tembusu Tree Mystery

The Tembusu Tree Mystery

'Til death do us part... Singapore, 1947. Newlyweds Su Lin and Le Froy are in the Cameron Highlands, an idyllic pocket of countryside on the tropical Malay Peninsula. But this is no honeymoon ... Le Froy is on a protection assignment for powerful businessman Max Moreno and his wife Elfrieda, whose associates have been brutally murdered. But the hideaway cannot protect the Morenos from vicious threats and ghostly sightings, and when Elfrieda vanishes with a stash of precious emeralds, Su Lin and Le Froy fear the worst. The only clue to Elfrieda's disappearance is rotting fruit from a rose apple tree, piled outside her lodge. When monsoon floods make escape from the Highlands impossible, Su Lin is determined to find Elfrieda with time to spare to get to know her new husband. But when Max's body is discovered surrounded by rose apples, passion turns to policing: Su Lin and Le Froy must work together try to prevent further deaths, including their own. ----- Praise for Ovidia Yu: 'One of Singapore's finest living authors' - South China Morning Post 'Charming' - Rhys Bowen 'One of the most likeable heroines in modern literature' - The Scotsman

A charming 1940's Singaporean mystery

The Rose Apple Tree Mystery

Singapore 1946 When all the angsana trees on the island bloom at the same time it's a glorious fragrant display that lasts only one day... and the next morning Su Lin comes across an old friend laughing hysterically while holding her dead lover on the thick carpet of yellow flowers by the quarry pool that was their childhood haunt. She instantly realises her friend could not be the killer as she could not have sliced so cleanly through the man's throat with no weapon in sight. As she tries to help her friend, Su Lin has to figure out where her own loyalties lie. Angsana blossoms aren't the only things disappearing overnight in post-war Singapore as the newly returned British - increasingly on edge because of anti-colonial uprisings in nearby Indonesia - rush to change laws and revoke permits and positions. But more pressingly, Su Lin has to prove her friend's innocence and stop a calculating killer from murdering again...

Every nook and cranny of 1930s Singapore is brought richly to life' CATRIONA MCPHERSON 'Charming' RHYS BOWEN 'One of the most likeable heroines in modern literature' SCOTSMAN

Singapore 1949 When all the angsana trees on the island bloom at the same time it's a glorious fragrant display that lasts only one day... and the next morning Su Lin comes across an old friend laughing hysterically while holding her dead lover on the thick carpet of yellow flowers by the quarry pool that was their childhood haunt.

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

The Angsana Tree Mystery

The War may be over but Su Lin's troubles are returning - along with the British - to Singapore... When two of Uncle Chen's associates come visiting Chen Mansion on the third day of Chinese New Year - an unlucky date in the Chinese calendar - Su Lin doesn't let them in. Not just because of the taboo, but because her uncle has been unwell. But the bad luck has clearly followed them as one of them is soon discovered outside the house, dead, with a strip of dried yellow rambutan peel in his mouth. And the other associate has gone missing. Could this have anything to do with the recent British ban on opium consumption? Singapore is only just adjusting to the return of British rule and the authorities suspect the dead man was killed for threatening to expose the Chens for processing and distributing the drug. And as Su Lin adjusts to the return of Le Froy to Singapore, being Parshanti's bridesmaid and figuring out why scraps of yellow rambutan peel keep showing up around the mansion, she is forced to think about whether she has a future in the Chen family - and in the new, post-Second World War Singapore...

Continuation of the Su Lin series, award-nominated historical crime fiction set in 1940s Singapore, in the aftermath of WWII

The Yellow Rambutan Tree Mystery

The war is over for some, but in the East annihilation threatens the lives of thousands... The Allies have won the war in Europe but Su Lin, now caring for old blind Professor Kutsuki, sees ominous signs that the Japanese occupiers mean to wipe out the population of Singapore rather than surrender to the enemy. When a young aide is found dead by the mushroom trees at the professor's house, and top secret communications go missing, stolen by 'a Chinese girl with a limp' even Su Lin's Japanese cousin Mrs Maki accuses her of being the thief and traitor. The handsome Yoshio Yoshimoto defending her only makes things worse for Su Lin, especially when a jealous rival is the next to die. As the cloud of destruction looms, Su Lin races against time to recover secrets long buried in the mulch of the mushroom trees. Praise for Ovidia Yu: 'One of Singapore's finest living authors' South China Morning Post '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 'Ovidia Yu's writing helped me peel back the layers to understand Singapore.

The latest mystery featuring teenage sleuth Su Lin, from award-winning Singaporean writer Ovidia Yu

The Mushroom Tree Mystery

First in a delightful and charming crime series set in 1930s Singapore, introducing amateur sleuth Su Lin, a local girl who steps in as governess for the Acting Governor of Singapore. 1936 in the Crown Colony of Singapore, and the British abdication crisis and rising Japanese threat seem very far away. When the Irish nanny looking after Acting Governor Palin's daughter dies suddenly and mysteriously, 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 occurs at the residence 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. '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

From one of Singapore's favourite authors, a fresh new series set in Singapore before the fall.

Sports in Singapore is perhaps one of the most under-rated and under-supported industries in the economy. There is no available data to show how much sports contributes to the economy or even how much the industry is worth in Singapore today.

Ronnie Blake

DS Ronnie Blake returns in Crash and Burn, the second instalment in a gripping new crime series set in Cambridge, from the author of the critically acclaimed DC Gary Goodhew series.

TWO BODIES. TWO DECADES APART. ONE DEADLY CONNECTION. When an arson attack reveals a fresh corpse alongside remains from nearly twenty years ago, DS Ronnie Blake and Cambridge's special investigations unit, known as the DEAD team, must investigate both to find the connection. Their only lead is Mariel Greer, who, as a child, survived her mother's abduction and presumed murder. Mariel remembers nothing, except a single, haunting phrase she repeated over and over. Now, as long-buried secrets resurface, the team must untangle a mystery long thought lost, before the killer strikes again. Praise for Alison Bruce 'A powerful and absorbing story that stayed with me long after I'd finished reading. A writer at the top of her game' ELLY GRIFFITHS 'Admirers of Bruce's superb DC Goodhew series will seize on this . . . engrossing, and with plot twists that keep you guessing till the end, this is a brilliant start to what promises to be a terrific new series' CHRISTINA KONING 'Superb! Ronnie Blake will become a household name alongside crime fiction's top protagonists. Because You Looked Away is gripping, clever and utterly authentic' GRAHAM BARTLETT 'Because She Looked Away is fast paced, twisty, clever, and satisfying, an engaging start to a new series from an established author' EMILY WINSLOW 'One of our most interesting crime writers' Daily Mail
