A wonderful book, the first I’ve ever read to meet all the Storygraph mood criteria! I was drawn to it by the Fijian setting, since I am also descended from indentured workers in Fiji like the author. It was a satisfying murder mystery steeped in realistic historical context with likeable characters. Can’t wait for the second in the series to come out!
