Meet CF Wong - not quite a private eye, nor exactly a Zen sage. He's a feng shui master whose work sometimes presents him with problems of a less mystical, even criminal, nature...welcome to the first book in the charming and delightful Feng Shui Detective series.CF Wong is not quite a private eye, nor exactly a Zen sage. He is a feng shui master, a geomancer who consults to people who want to optimise the energy flow of their buildings. But his work has a habit of presenting him with problems of a less mystical, even criminal, nature.This summer he has been saddled with a favour for his boss: to supervise a young Australian woman on work experience. Riotous cultural confusion results as the unlikely pair travel across Asia solving mysteries in a style reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. A delightful combination of crafty plotting, quirky humour and Asian philosophy, the Feng Shui Detective is an investigator like no other.
