Book Description

Publication Date: 5 April 2012 | Series: Inspector Singh Investigates (Book 5)

Inspector Singh is sick of sick leave, so when Mrs Singh suggests they attend a family wedding in Mumbai, he grudgingly agrees - hoping that the spicy Indian curries will make up for extended exposure to his wife's relatives.

Unfortunately, the beautiful bride-to-be disappears on the eve of her wedding - did she run away to avoid an arranged marriage, or is there something more sinister afoot? When a corpse is found, the fat inspector is soon dragged into a curious murder investigation with very firm instructions from Mrs Singh to exonerate her family. But as he uncovers layer upon layer of deceit, he knows it isn't going to be that easy...

5.0 out of 5 stars The mystery is complex and interesting, the characters are fascinating, 11 April 2012
By Elizabeth Hayes
Format:Paperback
Inspector Singh of the Singapore Police Force is on medical leave, and whereas during his working life he has endeavoured to wangle a long lunch followed by an afternoon nap, being at home he has now exhausted this pleasure, and is keen to get back to work. However, his superior Superintendent Chen is enjoying the absence of his overweight and permanently dishevelled Inspector, despite Singh's excellent record of catching murderers, and is adamant that Singh must adhere to the letter of his medical leave certificate.

To add to his home discomfort Mrs Singh is not only policing his smoking, but has discovered the Internet and relays to her husband everything she reads on it as fact, refusing to even consider that the information might not be true. When Mrs Singh announces that they are to attend the wedding in Mumbai of her cousin's daughter, he grudgingly agrees. The description of Singh's initiation into India culture had me rolling on the floor with laughter. He deduces that the only upside will be spicy curries galore, that's if he can avoid `Mumbai belly' or `Delhi belly' or `whichever part of India you happen to be' belly!

The disappearance of Ashu, the beautiful bride-to-be has the family in a spin, Mrs Singh who spends her life constantly carping at her husband, proudly announces that he is the head of the Singapore police. Inspector Singh is not sure that Superintendent Chen has heard of his promotion, but he bears up splendidly. Employed by the bride's grandfather Tara Singh, a wealthy influential man, Inspector Singh sets to work - did Ashu run away from an arranged marriage? Does she have a boyfriend? But everything he learns of Ashu is a picture of a strong woman. Further investigation uncovers a labyrinth of deceit.

This series is a total joy. The mysteries are complex and interesting, the characters are fascinating, and Inspector Singh is a larger-than-life character you so want to meet. To those of you who haven't had the pleasure of reading the earlier books in this series, don't delay, just do it now. I envy you the delight of reading these books for the first time. This entry in this marvellous series is highly recommended.

The last Inspector Singh! And one of the best - as anyone who knows India will agree. Will Ms Flint produce some more please - and will Jonathan Keeble record it for availability on audible?
