Finished a couple of weeks ago for November‘s #FictionalTraveler #Asia

I liked this second book in the series set in 1930‘s Singapore. This one takes place just after the first book with Su Lin now working at & living above the Detective & Intelligence unit. A high-profile wedding is rocked by the death of the groom after a prank involving betel nut juice. It gets a bit convoluted, but it kept the pages turning.

Quartey uses a new storytelling method with each book in the series, and so it is so far from a formulaic mystery as it can get. He also tells stories unique to #Ghana. A really nasty guy who trafficked Nigerians becomes a pimp of high class women to the rich, and is killed. His innocent girlfriend goes missing. This is a missing person story but also a murder mystery and a horrific story of human trafficking and prostitution. The author keeps ⬇️

More food in #Ghana! #foodandlit #serieslove2 @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I love that this author, in all his books, describes the food in #Ghana. #foodandlit #serieslove2024 @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

This is the author‘s note. It promises to be a hard read. #foodandlit #Ghana #serieslove2024 @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I am absolutely hooked on this series! I just finished book 2 (review to come), so now to book 3. #foodandlit #Ghana #serieslove2024 @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

What a fun mystery novel! The fast-paced narrative kept me entertained on my hotter-than-heck 6 mile run yesterday. I've always adored Fiona Grace novels.They never disappoint! Especially when I found this one free on Play Books.

Book 2 in the High Society Lady Detective Series (#SeriesLove2023) and my second finish for #JoysofJune

This is a fun cozy series. Olive is off to Blackburn Hall to try and find a missing author. A mystery ensues and Olive and her Watson, Jasper work to solve the mystery of two deaths. Were they connected or just a coincidence? Olive is tenacious and quite determined to get her man.

The narrator, Elizabeth Klerk, does a wonderful job.
