This was an interesting take on a period mystery drama, overall I enjoyed the book for what it was and I am looking forward to see how A. M. Stuart continues the series. As other reviewers have pointed out, I had hoped that there would be more inclusion of the local native peoples rather than the colonizers but things were written tactfully in regards to the European colonization of Singapore.
