Shamini Flint's Inspector Singh mysteries combine police procedure with travel across different parts of Asia. A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder introduces Singh, a Sikh police inspector from Singapore sent to Kuala Lumpur for a case involving a former model accused of killing her husband. Later books take him to Bali, Cambodia, India and China, using each investigation to explore local politics, family structures and legal systems. Singh is observant, stubborn and often uncomfortable outside his familiar routines, which gives the series a dry comic edge. Flint's prose is accessible and plot-driven, with social context woven into the crime. Readers seeking Asian crime fiction, international police procedurals and recurring detectives should begin with A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder. Read more Less
