This novel looks at the affluent nation of Singapore through the eyes of three Filipina domestic workers. Donita is young and recently arrived in Singapore; Angel is worried about being replaced as the caregiver to her elderly boss; and Cora said she’d permanently retired to the Philippines, but is now back for secretive reasons. When the island is set abuzz with the story of a Filipina maid who murdered her employer, the three women are determined to find out what really happened.

Each of the three protagonists in this novel brings something very different but equally powerful in this novel. Their voices weave together seamlessly to show a different side of Singapore. The mystery element was the least compelling part of the book for me personally, but that's more because there was so much else going on than because it was lacking. The epilogue was perfection!
