Inspector Zhang, Singapore's Sherlock Holmes, is faced with a tantalizing locked room mystery which he has hoped for many years to get a chance to solve. His partner, Sergeant Lee, is a by-the-book, follow protocol kind of officer. But Zhang helps her see the wonderful opportunity before them.The story is set in a 5-star hotel in Singapore. Crime is low, murder is rare and a locked room mystery is even more rare. We follow Zhang and Lee as they solve this caper.Stephen Leather's writing is solid. The story beckons you in and keeps the pages turning. If you enjoy mysteries, you will like Inspector Zhang Gets His Wish. For me, it was a nice departure from my usual reading material. I don't often read mysteries but I liked this one.
