The next book in the Mystery Tree series, exploring Singapore after the Japanese retreat and in the aftermath of WWII.
Singapore 1949
When all the angsana trees on the island bloom at the same time it''s a glorious fragrant display that lasts only one day... and the next morning Su Lin comes across an old friend laughing hysterically while holding her dead lover on the thick carpet of yellow flowers by the quarry pool that was their childhood haunt. She instantly realises her friend could not be the killer as she could not have sliced so cleanly through the man''s throat with no weapon in sight.
As she tries to help her friend, Su Lin has to figure out where her own loyalties lie. Angsana blossoms aren''t the only things disappearing overnight in post-war Singapore as the newly returned British-increasingly on edge because of anti-colonial uprisings in nearby Indonesia-rush to change laws and revoke permits and positions.
But more pressingly, Su Lin has to prove her friend''s innocence and stop a calculating killer from murdering again...

''Unassuming, brilliantly observant'' SCMP
''Ovidia Yu''s writing helped me peel back the layers to understand Singapore. The story and Chen Su Lin''s initiative and tenacity, set against a backdrop of wartime Singapore, intrigued both the historian and the mystery lover in me'' Kara Owens CMG CVO, British High Commissioner to Singapore
