meddling and murder - ovidia yu (2017)

 






geriatric protagonist. villains worth detesting. affectionately rendered singlish. local color i can relate to. locations in my backyard. with an overarching confidence and polish. plus a rollickin' good plot. 

shades of richard osman and hamish macbeth and even better than them, in fact, because ovidia yu writes with a sneaky good wit to boot.
