Those Opulent Days

‘A fascinating portrait of French colonial Vietnam, replete with simmering class tensions and murderous consequences. Pham succeeds at evoking an era both grim and glamorous in the service of a mystery that informs as much as it entertains.’ -- Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of The Deepest Lake ‘A compelling and complex portrait of human relationships, desires and failings. Jacquie Pham beautifully evokes the lushness and corruption of colonial Vietnam, while delivering a page-turning murder mystery.’ -- Jane Pek, author of The Verifiers ‘A masterful portrait of the enduring power of friendship and the weight of family—the ones we are born into and the ones we create on our own. Harrowing, suspenseful and beautifully written, Jacquie Pham’s debut novel, Those Opulent Days, introduces a stunning new voice in crime fiction.’ -- Danielle Girard, USA Today bestselling author of Up Close
