The conscientious Inspector Zhang has celebrated his thirtieth wedding anniversary by taking his delicate & slim wife out for a meal. A woman appears to commit suicide by jumping from a building and the body lands right in front of the Inspector and his wife after they leave the restaurant.Murder is rare in Singapore but suicide is common. However, there is indeed an impossible mystery for the Inspector to solve.This is the second Inspector Zhang mystery I've read and I find they are very cleverly written tales - this one is around 16,000 words and the easy gentle style of writing meant I read it in just under an hour.Priced at less than the cost of the daily newspaper I bought this morning, it held my attention far more and actually gave me a more interesting read than most of the news items!If you want a quick easy read, then this will certainly keep you entertained.There is also the bonus of the first few chapters ofBangkok Bob and The Missing Mormon.
