Feng Shui master C.F. Wong of Singapore needs money, and he
needs it now. Because of an office supply deal gone wrong
(know anyone who needs 180,000 fruit shaped highlighters
filled with black ink?), he owes a large sum to the Chinese
mafia. Fortune favors him when the British royal family asks
for a feng shui makeover of their state-of-the-art Skyparc
passenger plane. Maybe Wong's misfortunate is about to turn
fortunate again.
Joyce McQuinnie, Wong's assistant, is thrilled at the
possibility of meeting a real royal -preferably an available
prince, so she convinces Wong to take the assignment.
However, the cushy job gets complicated when Joyce's old
school friend Paul is accused of murdering a top oil
executive on board the Skyparc. Joyce is determined to prove
Paul's innocence, but if he's not guilty, why has he taken a
vow of silence? It's up to Joyce and Wong to find out who
the real killer is? And while they're at it - what exactly
is the Queen of England's last name?
In a lively and often uproariously funny story, THE FENG
SHUI DETECTIVE GOES WEST, combines a fascinating look at
East meets West with an intriguing but light mystery that is
an absolute joy to read. The second book in a promising
series by author Nury Vittachi, this book can be read alone,
but it is highly recommended to start with the first book,
THE FENG SHUI DETECTIVE, in order to get a little more
knowledge about the cast of quirky but personable
characters.
Feng shui master C.F. Wong has never been to the West, but
he knows he doesn't like it. It is unquestionably full of
Westerners, with their large noses and their disgusting food
and their habit-he has seen it many times in movies-of
fighting with each other on top of speeding trains. And yet
C.F. is going to England. The Family has been having a bad
time. The Family needs a feng shui master. Only Wong can
bring balance to Buckingham Palace.
