There are relatively few crimes in the city state and those that are committed are usually solved quickly.

A nice first outing for Inspector Zhang,
Impeccably dressed and well spoken, Inspector Zhang is a Detective Inspector in the Singapore Police. He loves reading, especially traditional detective fiction, even going as far as teaching himself Japanese in order to read a series of books that were never published in English.
For his entire career he has longed for a murder mystery to test his deductive powers, but murders hardly ever happen in Singapore. Summoned late one night to a five star hotel, it seems he has finally got his wish when the body of a wealthy American businessman is discovered in what seems to be a “locked room mystery”.
I certainly haven’t read all of Stephen Leather’s works, but I have read a few, and those that I have read have a few things in common. They are all extremely well written in a very contemporary style and they have all been hard hitting and rather graphic. This little story is also well written, but it is the total opposite in terms of style. This story reads very much like an Agatha Christie “whodunnit”. It is very gentle in style, has no gore, is not in any way graphic in nature, and has no strong language at all. All in all it is a very easy going read. Personally I found this a refreshing change.
Stephen Leather has very much taken the Kindle to heart and as I would expect the Kindle presentation is first class. I only picked up one minor typo in the entire story. This little story took me just over half an hour to read and is 465 locations on the Kindle/roughly 30 pages, about the perfect length for something to read between novels.
Overall: 4 stars: A rather nice first outing for Inspector Zhang. At the end of the book Stephen Leather says that there will be more cases for the Inspector to solve and I will certainly be watching out for the next one.

Disappointed,
New to this author and was disappointed but the 1st paragraph. Its a who dunnit and in the 1st paragraph the detective has defied the laws of physics never mind logic, when his glasses steams up on entering the cold from the hot humid outside. Stuck it out to the end and it was an OK read but nothing more. Wont be buying any of his books unless someone recommends a better book by him.

A nice short mystery,
Leather’s Singaporean Detective Zhang investigates another closed room mystery as a hotel guest is found dead where CCTV shows that no one has entered his room since said guest called room service and also telephoned his wife. This series of very short stories is modelled on Agatha Christie’s Poirot where Zhang similarly uses his ‘little grey cells’ to solve a seemingly impossible mystery. Very simple, very clever, and very readable.
