A Disappearance in Fiji (2023)
Nilima Rao
"A poignant and entertaining read . . . Sergeant Akal Singh is a charmingly imperfect and captivating protagonist. I love Akal and hope we'll be seeing a lot more of him!"
Unladylike Lessons in Love (2023)
(Marleigh Sisters, book 1)
Amita Murray
"Lila Marleigh is a smart, unconventional and independent English-Indian beauty who controls what's allowed into her iced champagne punch, her gaming establishment and her life... till Ivor Tristram turns up and yes, it's a romance and mystery and Lila is charming, but it's the painful secret at the heart of her family that leaves me wanting even more. Are the Marleighs going to be the next Bridgertons? I can only hope!"
Skin Deep (2020)
(Siobhan O'Brien, book 1)
Sung J Woo
"Siobhan O’Brien (black haired Asian adopted by an American Irish father and Nordic mother) perfectly fits the spunky independent investigator gap left by Kinsey Millhone. I love how she delivers lines like, ‘Surveillance makes the tummy grow fonder?for food, that is,’ in this funny, entertaining mystery that hits all my favourite buttons."
