Review: Doesn't work
Rating: 2 out of 5

Nothing about this story felt real.  We were supposed to believe that Zhang was some sort of master detective, but he spent most of his time talking about old detective stories, not even using the tools of his job.  90% of the story is him talking while everyone stands around.  This had a strangely formal feel.  This may have been what the author was going for, but it didn't make for an enjoyable read.  It was more like a game than a situation where someone had actually died and the setting (Singapore) was completely undeveloped.
