Singapore Worlds

Review

A 2024 Top Rated Read

Fresh from employment with the Singapore government, Ash Carter is on the look out for private investigation work. He delves into the unsolved murder of a police officer, Sergeant Cox, who appears to have been the target of an assassin.

This great little novella, Singapore Worlds, slots nicely into the timeline between full-length novels Singapore Girl and Singapore Boxer in the Ash Carter series. The fast-paced story with its many twists and turns kept me guessing until the end. The author's extensive local knowledge once again created a flawless vivid image of a bygone time that was, quite frankly, spectacular. Action-packed and full of intrigue, I loved it!
