Saigon Singer

Rating:
Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: SAIGON SINGER is a very entertaining Hugh North mystery. The story is reminiscent of THE SINGAPORE EXILE MURDERS. Too bad Mason does not let Made Sayu, the heroine of the earlier book, continue on in this adventure. It is apparently not Hugh North's style to keep any old girl friends around when there are so many new ones to pursue.

Summary: Major North Returns To Asia
Review: This is the first Hugh North mystery story written after World War II. North returns to Asia where he was last seen in the SINGAPORE EXILE MURDERS. Now Major North goes to Saigon to track down a tangled web of traitors, blackmailers and smugglers who include a Swiss banker, a beautiful singer and at least one imposter. The author shows he hasn't lost his touch after returning himself from military service in Europe. Besides a good mystery story, Mason gives us a look at a slice of Saigon life before Indochina's post-war troubles begin in earnest.
