Nicholas Young's grandmother Su Yi is on her deathbed. While he rushes to be by her bedside, he's not the only one.

With all parties vying to inherit a trophy estate in the heart of Singapore, Nicholas's childhood home turns into a hotbed of sabotage and scandal.

Taking us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, Kevin Kwan's final installment in this irresistible trilogy reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Critic reviews

Flashy, funny ... Delicious ... A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that's a pure pleasure to read.

Kevin Kwan has done it again. Mastermind ... [is] back at it with the series final installment ... Rest assured, it's just as enthralling as the trilogy's first two volumes.

I gobbled all three volumes of Kevin Kwan's gossipy, name-droppy and wickedly funny Crazy Rich Asians trilogy as if they were popcorn. (Really fresh, still-warm popcorn, with that good European butter ... but I digress.) ... Irresistible.

Your next hit of over-the-top couture drama ... The perfect indulgent long-weekend read.

Something for everyone ... A smorgasbord of rich delights.

Narrator lets this great story down

Have loved the entire trilogy, but considering this traverses over several languages and dialects, when you hear the narrator absolutely mangle ‘Bondi’ (bon-dye not bond-y) and ‘Coogee’ (koo-gee not koog-y) which are Australian indigenous names, and Bondi, at least is world famous, it suggests a lack of production/editorial care for the text. I found the narrator, Lynn Chen, of the first book, Crazy Rich Asians a much better performer
