About the Book
When successful London real estate agent, Isabelle Goh, is left close to death in an attempted assassination, Detective Ayesha Nur embarks on a case that not only brings her face to face with her own demons, but sends her on a journey to unravel Goh’s long-hidden secrets. What happened a half-century ago in post-colonial Singapore? Who was baby Rosie and how did her disappearance so many years in the past lead to the shooting in modern-day London?
UNTIL EVEN THE ANGELS, Suzanne Scott Tomita’s debut literary crime novel, is a story of class division in a rapidly changing world, childhood friendships gained and lost, and bonds that erode, but can never be erased.
Review
I really enjoyed 'Until Even the Angels'. A real page turner, I did not want to put it down and read it in two sittings. I have never been to Singapore but loved the detail in the atmospheric descriptions; it led me to look up more on the birds and places depicted.. Equally so for the historical events. Clearly well researched and evocatively described, it really draws the reader in.” -- A Lemon, United Kingdom 22/02/2025
