I enjoyed this historical procedural murder mystery! I learned a lot about Fiji and indentured servitude and Indian migration during the racist, white supremacist, British colonization. I appreciate that the author brought a personal perspective to her research and had a connection through her family to the story. A bit slow at the start, and I kinda wish the MC’s past came up a bit earlier. Worth reading! 4 stars
