Zibby Owens's Reviews > Now You See Us

Now You See Us is a novel about three Filipino women who are domestic workers in Singapore. When a friend is accused of murder, they band together to investigate and exonerate her. Corazon, Donita, and Angel are cleaners, maids, and caregivers. Because of how the women are treated, they realize it could happen to any of them so they go on a mission to prove their friend is innocent. It's a story about abuse and injustice, but it is also a mystery surrounded by friendship and compassion.

The author does such an excellent job with setting scenes. The book was so visual that I felt I could picture Singapore. All of the little moments were so real. With so much spotlight on privilege and wealth, I think this narrative is critical and gives an interesting insight into the social commentary around a different class and culture.
