I got this book free to read and review.I was disappointed when I reached the end of this book and found out that it was part of a serial, by serial rather than series I mean that it does not stand on its own in fact two pages of the next book "Return of the Hantu" are included which starts as a continuation of this book.Despite my dislike of serials I enjoyed this and will buy the next one I have spent time in Singapore and this book captures the essence of the pace and life style including appetising descriptions of some of the local food. The story builds slowly with the main character Ursula Formosa a reluctant psychic with the ability to see ghosts but does not want to investigating a case which turns out to be quite mundane but about halfway through the book the tone changes and there is a greater involvement with ghosts which Ursula gets drawn into, then just when the story is getting interesting it stops.
