Book series recommendation: Inspector Singh Investigates

Another great find at the beginning of the pandemic were the Inspector Singh books by Malaysian lawyer Shamini Flint, who also writes children's books. I found her on Facebook and told her how much I enjoyed her series. 

Inspector Singh's boss doesn't like him at all, which is why the poor inspector is sent to other Asian countries to help out. The author always finds a good excuse. 

Again, one thing I like about these books apart from a good story s that you learn a bit about the history, culture and cuisine of each separate country. Each book is like a mini-break, a little holiday. And they are humorous. What's not to like?
