I have always thought that Singapore was beautiful and had amazing things, their airport is legendary as is the park in the sky.
It was a great introduction into how some Chinese families work, and how they are obsessed with finding the right match for their children, which doesn’t just mean a nice person, they have to come from a good family with money or they are looked down upon.
I also liked how Kevin Kwan used a lot of the phrases and words that would be used in real conversations and explained them in the footnotes so that it still seemed authentic while reading.
I would definitely love to carry on this series!

We are back in good old Grant County with Sara and Jeffery stumbling across a body whose last moments on earth were truly horrific. A difficult investigation follows with the girl belonging to a very religious family. It’s an interesting case if a bit of a slow burner of a book as a whole.
Sara and Jeffery carry on like Sara and Jeffery: bicker, argue, kiss rinse repeat but somehow Jeffery doesn't annoy me as much as he did in the last few books. Even Lena seems to be more of a character that I don’t need to just slap for making poor decisions, don’t get me wrong I’m still waiting to see any evidence of her being the “great cop” we keep getting told she is but she was a lot less of a car crash of annoying in this book.
Only one more book in this series to go and I’m really hoping it all ends on a return to the highs of the beginning of this series.

Felicity comes to see Joe, a counsellor, when she is found wandering, lost and disorientated in Cambridge, where he story is set. She doesn’t know how she got there, or how she has been injured. She wants to go to South Georgia to carry out her research on glaciers ( she’s an academic at the university), but has to have a clean bill of health. This accident puts her mental health in doubt.
I don’t want to say too much more about the plot. I will say that it was a breathtaking read. I was constantly left wondering what could possibly happen next, and I didn’t know who to be the most worried for, or who I could trust - if indeed I could trust anyone at all!
It’s a great read, and one I’d thoroughly recommend if you like suspense - I was on tenterhooks for the whole book!
