About this listen
1914, Fiji: Sergeant Akal Singh would rather be anywhere than this tropical paradise - or, as he calls it, 'this godforsaken island'. After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to the far-flung colony of Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and embarrassed, he dreams of solving a big case, thereby redeeming himself and gaining permission to leave. Otherwise, he fears he will be stuck in Fiji for ever.
When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji's newspapers scream 'kidnapping', the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case, giving him strict instructions to view this investigation as nothing more than cursory. But as soon as Akal arrives on the plantation, he identifies several troubling inconsistencies in the plantation owners' stories, and it seems there is more to this disappearance than meets the eye . . .

A good historical fiction
This was an easy listen and a good historical mystery that though predictable did have its share of twists. can't believe this slice of colonial history hasn't been explored before.

atmospheric mystery
This was an interesting, well-researched mystery. There are not nearly enough books, especially historical books set in the Pacific and Disappearance in Fiji is a refreshing and nuanced addition that was very exciting to come across. i look forward to more books in the series (I hope it's a series) and more from this author. The narrator also did a good job bringing the story to life.
