Bloody Foreigners

Inspector Low #3

by Neil Humphreys

A killer targeting people of Asian descent in a city fed by xenophobia and intolerance threatens a race war in this crime thriller set in London.

London is angry, divided, and obsessed with foreigners. A dead Singaporean and some racist graffiti in Chinatown might trigger the race war that the white supremacists of the Make England Great Again movement have been hoping for. They just need a tipping point. And he arrives in the shape of Detective Inspector Stanley Low. He’s brilliant. He’s bipolar. He hates everyone almost as much as he hates himself.

Singapore doesn’t want him and he doesn’t want to be in London for a criminology lecture. There are too many bad memories, like Detective Sergeant Ramila Mistry, who asks for Low’s help. Against everyone’s better judgement, Low is plunged into a polarised city, where xenophobia and intolerance feed screaming echo chambers.

His desperate race to find a far-right serial killer will lead him to charismatic Neo-Nazi leaders, incendiary radio hosts, and Metropolitan Police officers who don’t appreciate the foreigner’s interference. No one wants him there, but too many victims with Asian faces keep him there. He craves vengeance, particularly when the murderer makes it personal and promises to kill the only woman that Low ever loved.

The detective is the wrong face in the wrong place. But he’s the right copper for the job. London is about to meet the bloody foreigner who won’t walk away.

Neil Humphreys is a British humour columnist and author of three best-selling books about Singapore - Notes From an Even Smaller Island (2001), Scribbles from the Same Island (2003) and Final Notes from a Great Island (2006). The last of these was on Singapore's bestsellers list for several consecutive weeks, proving the popularity of his writings among Singaporeans. His latest book in this series - Return to a Sexy Island - was released in June 2012.

Brought up in Dagenham, London, England, Humphreys arrived in Singapore in 1996 and had initially planned on staying in Singapore for only 3 months. However, he instantly fell in love with the island-state and decided to settle there. Humphreys has always lived in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats in Toa Payoh, a public housing estate in central Singapore, despite moving twice. Although he is a foreigner, he has chosen to assimilate himself into the Singapore culture through living in HDB flats, eating at local kopitiams and trying out many things that the locals do. He often pokes fun at Western expatriates working in Singapore by comparing their living habits with his own, criticising them for their aloofness from the local society and their extravagant lifestyles.

Bloody Foreigners is the third instalment in the Detective Inspector Low series in which a killer targeting people of Asian descent in a city fed by xenophobia and intolerance threatens a race war in this crime thriller set in London. We are introduced to DI Stanley Low in this first thriller by Humphrey’s to be released in the UK. He's cantankerous, miserable but still maintains a certain idiosyncratic charm about him and is as much a cynic as the beloved Diogenes. He is brutally honest to a fault, which often comes across as rude, and his constant simmering anger is liable to fulminate at any given moment. He also suffers from bipolar disorder further adding to the explosion of emotions he cycles through regularly. When a fellow Singaporean living in The Big Smoke is mercilessly slaughtered in a street situated behind Chinatown, an investigation focusing on the suspected hate crime begins. However, when Low joins the team working on the case, the situation begins to take a turn for the worse. Can they collar the culprit with a vicious, prejudicial ideology out to murder those he deems imposters in "his" country? This is a compulsive and enthralling murder mystery with plenty of thrills and is heavily character-driven.

It revolves around the irascible and roguish anti-hero Inspector Low who takes on the criminal underworld and sadistic serial killers alike all while battling his own personal demons. He's certainly a misanthropic protagonist and a polarising character, but unlike many police detectives, he has no vulnerability, no ego and no vanity and is quite the paradox with both his western and eastern sensibilities. Humphrey examines the clash of cultures in contemporary Britain and the novel is interspersed with social commentary on racism, classism, culture, sectarianism, prejudice, white supremacy, far-right ideology, immigration and how intolerance has risen exponentially since Brexit and the use of social media skyrocketed. It's gritty, dark and prescient and moves at a galloping pace as a sinister and perilous investigation ensues. I was engrossed from the first chapter and the timely nature of the storyline fuelled my desire to read it in one sitting. Low is a brilliantly contrary, yet charismatic character thrown into the middle of a divided Britain and dealing with both a racist serial killer who can't stop killing foreigners and an ex-girlfriend who wants to kill him.

[Liz Barnsley · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't expect to love this as much as I did but the main protagonist, Inspector Low, was so beautifully odd and unusual that he sucked me in. Quirky, often irrational, always compelling it's worth reading for that alone.

The story itself is a ripped from the headlines social commentary on our country that pulls no punches and through the narrative offers some insightful undertones that keeps you on edge. The ability to do this, manage not to be randomly preachy and judgemental PLUS tell a wildly entertaining story makes this novel a truly excellent read.

Edgy and intelligent with some great writing, I definitely recommend this and look forward to meeting Inspector Low again.

I truly loved the premise of the book and was ready for something powerful. I anticipated a scathing critique of the current situation in the UK masterfully laced between a detective novel.

Instead, I read a story of an angry man caught up in his past, unable to come to terms with himself and a couple of murders thrown in between to keep the book somewhat linked to the blurb. The plot offers a murder mystery amongst an increasingly divided UK. Yet, there’s just a Singaporean detective who believes he is the catalyst for anything that happens in London. Given the authors origins, I'm genuinely baffled how this character was so poorly constructed.

The protagonist with main character syndrome repeatedly mentions how every single person thinks he’s ‘the smartest person they’ve ever met’. Pages upon pages of right wing echo-chamber spiel are plastered over the pages. They're neither critiqued nor analysed and it feels as though it's presented only for shock value. Living here though, it's neither shocking nor smart, when I could simply go onto facebook to read the same, undeveloped arguments.

The book had real potential to address the underlying issues that fuel this behaviour, but instead focused on stereotyping and emphasing the 'good' and 'bad' guys. There was no nuance. Stereotypes were exaggerated beyond belief and the protagonist was constantly seething, clearly unable to take on real-time issues as he was held back by past experiences he hadn’t worked through. I felt distressed reading the book more from the 100 different issues Detective Low was going through vs actually enjoying the content.

The potential really was there, but the novel is disappointingly a caricature at best.

Thank you to NetGalley and Muswell Press for the ARC in return for an honest review. I'm genuinely sorry I couldn't appreciate the value that was clearly seen when it was approved for publishing.

This is the first time I have met Detective Inspector Low but. he's not a character I'm going to forget in a hurry. Cantankerous to the point of being obstructive, he has a kind of self destruct button, super-charged by way of bi-polar disorder, and linked to a very short fuse and one almighty explosion whenever he is set off. Not the kind to hold back in any way, he finds himself in the middle of a hate-crime investigation when a fellow Singapore national is murdered in a back street in London's Chinatown. Now Low's arrival in London may seem like uncanny timing, but his presence in the thick of the investigation is certainly the catalyst for what will become a very dark and deadly investigation.

Neil Humphreys has played a very canny game, using a very topical situation - hate crime and the rising intolerance towards immigrants that has been prevalent in the UK in recent (and not so recent years), mixed in some of the anti-immigration and nostalgic rhetoric of Trumpism and brought forth a story which is almost too believable to be fiction. It is a damning social commentary on the most ardent of anti-immigration supports and their ilk (and we can all probably think of England's current incarnation) but also a very clear look at the dangerous rise in racist language and intolerance that has gained to much of a global platform using social media.

But that makes it sound very dark, very sombre - very dry - and believe me when I say that this is far from that. Yes, the subject is highly topical. Yes, the subject is very divisive and Neil Humphreys has captured that most excellently with the two breakfast radio hosts, Beckett and Jones, two people whose opinions are as far removed from each other as you could ever hope to find. And don't go expecting the usual gender and race stereotypes. Yes some of them are there, but then stereotypes are established for a reason. But not everything in this book is as you would expect. For all the darkness and the scenes which can be tense and emotional, there is a clear thread of humour and great characters who keep what could be a very dark story infused with a bright spark of lightness.

Characterisations are spot on. Low is the stand out character - obviously - and as much as he is seemingly unstructured, argumentative to the nth degree and definitely one to ignore the rulebook when it suits him, I really kind of liked him. He's not portrayed as someone superhuman, and he most certainly has flaws, but he has a very astute mind and an ability to think faster and clearer than those around him. He definitely allows for some of the humour in the book, but also some of the tension as you never know quite what he will do or how he will react. Then there are the UK Detectives, Mistry and Devonshire. Great characters in themselves, although Devonshire has more than a small amount of hatred towards Low, understandable when factoring the feeling is entirely mutual. Then we have Cook and Bishop, the PCs who provide a little of the comedy relief, although even they have the ability to surprise us. Each character is fully fleshed out, with a unique voice, although it is Make England Great Again movement leader, Billy Evans and his 'disciples' who will make your blood really boil. No redeeming qualities and everything that people despise about other far-right leaders. But is he depraved enough to commit murder?

This is a story or culture, class, race, religion and hate and everything in between. A fast paced, murder mystery set in the murky world of far-right politics, with one of the most memorable and gung-ho characters I've met. Hate the essence of the subject matter, enjoyed the book.

[Bodies in the Library · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three stars from me means I believe the writer achieved what they wanted, but I just didn’t fall in love with the book.

The early chapters were great - and Stanley Low came across as a funny, interesting, polarising character. However, there were too many times when I had to suspend my disbelief - a married couple on the same investigating team in the UK’s biggest police force, the attempt to arrest a far right politician in the middle of a violent march, the random armed police, and the ridiculous interviews in which Low - a visitor from another international police force was allowed to take the lead with no reference to PACE whatsoever.

Mainly, for me the book just had too much backstory. I don’t care about Low’s past love life, and really disliked the way Mistry’s abortion was discussed. As if any woman would keep that a secret for years and then reveal it just like that, to spite Low in an argument.

All in all, if you like fast-paced crime dramas and don’t need your police officers to stick to procedure, I’m sure you’ll love this book.

Three word review: depressing race war.

Inspector Low going places

First, not a fan of the run-on dialogue banter sans subject markers, same goes for the occasional abrupt scene jumps. There were some typos in this edition, but not that big of a deal.

That said, DI Stanley Low is shaping up to be a new anti-hero detective, though honestly this reads more like a thriller than the conventional whodunnit I prefer. Low’s cantankerous antics could risk looking like a one-trick pony if he appeared too often, which fortunately in this case he didn’t.

The supporting cast were nicely done, though Mistry was annoying in her little Ms Perfect way; there are simply too many male authors I’ve read who’d fashioned a main love interest (ex or not) in this way and it’s tiresome.

What the book did well was pacing; even though the plot could be tighter, things never did drag for too long.

Humphreys’ trademark social commentary on what the typical Chinese thinks was on the mark as far as this Chinese is concerned. I’d go so far to say that this ang moh is the antithesis of a kentang; he’s white on the outside but yellow inside, it seems: just like a nai wong bao - cantonese steamed custard bun.

[Nicola Mackenzie-Smaller · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this thriller a lot. It’s murky, political and has a conflicted detective who treads a thin line between right and wrong. What’s not to like?
Neil Humphreys has written a book which starts with the violent stabbing of a young Asian man in London. The killer scrawls MEGA on the wall in the victim’s blood; a plea to make England great again (ugh).
Stanley Low is sent from Singapore to lecture in criminology. He’s clearly done some pretty morally ambiguous stuff as a police officer at home. When he finds that the case is being worked by his previous girlfriend he steps in to assist,with some pretty interesting consequences.
Timely and bleakly funny in places, I’ll be keeping an eye out for more Low.
Read with The Pigeonhole.

[Sarah Boardman · Rating 2 out of 5]

A series of ranting, angry speeches on race through the medium of a novel. I didn’t enjoy it at all. Needs a lot more editing and research.

[Alison Alice-May · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first meeting with DI Stanley Low but it’s unlikely I will forget him in a hurry. He is a huge character who reflects London in a way, he is angry, on the edge and obsessed with foreigners, of which he is one. A Singaporean man is found dead in Chinatown with the letters MEGA written by his body, the slogan of Make England Great Again - a movement of white suprematists who want an excuse to start a race war.

This is not a pleasant read in many respects. It is full of xenophobia and intolerance. However this is balanced by the anti-hero DI Low. He is miserable and cantankerous but he is also brutally honest. Being bipolar he has explosions of emotions throughout the book, which is brilliantly character-driven. DI Low is asked to help in an investigation that could ignite tensions at any time, with a character that could itself ignite its own simmering anger.

The book examines the clash of cultures that exists today in contemporary Britain. It deals with racism, class structures, culture, prejudice, white supremacy and immigration. The use and misuse of social media is highlighted and how this feeds into intolerance, particularly since Brexit. The story is fast paced and of a timely nature, featuring a racist serial killer who can’t stop killing foreigners.

This is excellent, exciting writing that manages to tell of social intolerance without preaching, while at the same time narrating a believable, edgy and drama filled storyline. I look forward to reading more from the pen of Mr Humphreys in the future.

Inspector Stanley Low is a Singaporean Detective in London to give a lecture at the London School of Economics. When a Singaporean man is stabbed to death, he’s asked to consult. Graffiti for the xenophobic group Make England Great Again was daubed above the body, which complicates things. Low is something of a loose canon, and so he needs to be kept in check by DI Ramilla Mistry, who also so happens to be his ex-lover.

Bloody Foreigners is apparently part of a series, though most of the books don’t appear to have been published in the UK, at least not be a publisher who markets them properly. I had seen the author’s work before but not read any of his novels, so this was my first introduction to his writing. Despite being part of a series, the book can be read as a standalone, as I did.

This is an enjoyable read, it has clear social commentary on the state and decline of the UK, without layering it on too thick. It’s one-part police procedural, one-part action thriller. There are parts of the narrative which stretch credulity a little, but nothing too extreme to spoil the enjoyment of the narrative. Low is an enjoyable misanthropic character, who despite his obvious flaws, is committed to justice and doing the right thing. the other characters are also well drawn out and I particularly liked the villains of the piece, especially a character who has more than a passing resemblance to Nigel farage.

This is a really enjoyable read and I’d recommend it.

[Pheadra · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this through my online book club. As it is the third book in a series, which can be read as a stand alone but would definitely be better read in order, I felt that some of the dynamics of the relationship between main character Stanley Low and the love of his life Ramila Mistry were lost out on.

Fast-paced, brutal, xenophobic, angry and sad this is the tale of a divided England. A bunch of nutters are intent on Making England Great Again and use the slogan MEGA as graffiti wherever they commit atrocities. Enter Detective Inspector Stanley Low, a Chinaman from Singapore suffering from bipolar disorder, who happens to be in England as a guest of the School of Economics.
Low is frankly a misery, despising practically everyone but his wit and brilliance carry the story predominantly about racism and blame in current times. Kudos to Neil Humphreys on describing the differences between the races aptly and in particular for the banter between the characters but I did feel parts dragged. A very helpful glossary at the end of the book was much appreciated. 4 and a half stars.

I have loved this novel despite the events and the racism described with brutal reality.

Bloody Foreigners, by Neil Humphreys.

Low, a police inspector from Singapore, came to London School of Economics to give a lecture. At the same time, a Muslim student got murdered. He helps the police with the investigation. Low is brilliant, knows all about xenophobia in all its sorts, and more than expertly analyses people. He is though a highly disturbed man, and his methods do not always agree with rationality, but he is good, so good. Still in love with Ramira, also a police inspector, we learn a lot about their interesting part which was not disturbing the complex plot. Really enthralling investigation, brilliant characters, this novel is a page-turner! The end is none other I had expected from Low... Third in a trilogy, this novel can be read as a standalone. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much, Neil, for letting me read your book for free on Pigeonhole in exchange for an honest review.

4/5 Very Good.

The third book In the Inspector Stanley Low series finds Stanley on loan to the UK police after the death of a young Singaporean Student in London’s ChinaTown.

The killing appears to be Race Related and from there on In that’s what the story is very much entrenched in.

This is a tough uncomfortable and fast paced novel of Race and the UK with the growing groups who want to take England back so to speak.

Low again is a dangerous unpredictable entity but in the
Is book we find a little bit out about what has made Stanley how he is and glimpses of a different side to this angry firebrand cop.

It’s entertaining, gritty, uncompromising and won’t suit everyone as it’s close to the bone, but it’s very good. There is one huge massive bugbear that is hard to look past but it’s fiction and without it the story can’t be written. That’s the only shame but that’s not my place to point out.

THIS is the buzz in town.

Our favourite ang-mor Singaporean adoptee Neil Humphreys’ latest Inspector Low novel, Bloody Foreigners has arrived in bookstores! This has simultaneously released in the UK to published rave reviews in the media.

An Indian Singaporean is killed in the heart of Chinatown in London, in what seems like a racist attack.

Hapless Detective Inspector Stanley Low is a bit of a Singapore-reject, in town to give some lecture at the London School of Economics. He’s a sort of rogue character that takes the mickey out of anyone trying to stereotype him.

Low is “the wrong face in the wrong place but he’s the right copper for the job. London is about to meet the bloody foreigner who won’t walk away.”

An entertaining, easy read, in true Neil Humphreys style.

More of 4.5 stars
This was the third in the series and although a little of the backstory between Low & Mistry was lost this could be read as a standalone.
The characters were well written and vivid/easy to imagine.
The storyline was very relevant to the issues occurring in society in regards to racism/right wing groupings.
Not sure if a husband and wife would be allowed to work together in real life (Mistry/Devonshire) or if uniformed officers would be armed in a police station in England either, but am willing to ignore for dramatic licence.
This is a very dark read, lots of violence and swearing so not one for the easily offended/upset.
Recommended reading for those who like an intense & twisty plot. Might have to read the others in the series.
Thanks to the Pigeonhole and to Neil for the opportunity/joining in with the read-a-long.

[Fay Flude · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very thought provoking. If you can see past the violence, Bloody Foreigners makes us look deep into our beliefs and questions our own attitudes, assumptions and judgements made on a daily basis. These thoughts and responses might not be as extreme as the behaviour of the Make England Great Again crusaders, but human nature tends to find ways to categorise others which might not always be particularly inclusive. However small or subtle these perspectives may be, real damage can be done when we don't challenge our own thinking and the thinking of those around us
Bloody Foreigners is an explosive read, fraught with racial tension and featuring a hugely unpopular Singaporean detective, Stanley Low. Never one to play by the rules, bipolar Low gets results in the most unethical ways.
A truly exciting finish.

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the third book in a series featuring Stanley Low who is a detective with the Singaporean Police Force. He is in London to give a lecture and his visit coincides with the murder of a Singaporean Indian student. The Make England Great Again group was thought to be behind the murder as their slogan was found near the body. Low becomes involved in the investigation and is reunited with his one time friend DI Ramila Mistry who is also on the case with her husband. I found it hard to believe that someone from another country would be allowed to sit in on interviews especially when they weren't visiting in an official capacity. Low is something of a loose cannon and spends a lot of time ranting and raving and I can't say I liked him very much at all. This is a very unsettling read with quite a lot of violence.

[Di Paterson · Rating 5 out of 5]

While this is the third of the Inspector Low novels, it's my first exposure to Neil Humphreys' writing, and it won't be the last. This book stands entirely on its own and doesn't lack in any way from my not having read the previous two. Yes, there might be a little more insight into the character of Low, but the writing is so good it doesn't take long to know that Low is not a very likeable person, but he is brilliant at what he does. In this book, Neil Humphreys explores a very topical and hard issue, which is not always easy to read. But overall, the characterisations, the plot and the pace of the novel are all excellent. I'll definitely be reading the first two books. Thanks to Neil Humphreys and the Pigeonhole for the opportunity to read it.

[Karan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was both my least and most favorite Inspector Low book so far. The politics was just exhausting to me, but Stanley was a little bit more of a human with some facets and redeeming qualities. The book is set in England and is all about race politics, wokeness, etc. Like what isn't lately?
But Stanley gives a speech at the London School of Economics that should go down in history, and then we meet his college sweetheart, now married and working for the police. We also meet some annoying radio show hosts, some neo-nazis, dead and alive, and if the politics don't bore you to death, there's a plot and some police work along with some self-awareness on Stanley's part.
I'm curious how he'll take that back to Singapore and looking forward to the next book.

Many thanks to Pigeonhole and Neil Humphreys for the chance to read in exchange for an honest review.

This book is very well written, but disturbing and violent. DI Stanley Low, from Singapore, is in London to give some lectures (sent by his employers, to basically get rid of him for a while!) Low is bipolar, making him unpredictable and difficult to work with.
A dead young Singaporean found in Chinatown sets off a catalogue of incidents, murders and crimes. Homophobia, racism and xenophobia are at the heart of the book and makes for difficult reading. An eye-opener of what goes on in our multicultural cities.

Meet Stanley Low, a Singaporean detective, who happens to be bipolar.
Stanley doesn't like people and people don't seem to take to Stanley.
Stanley is asked by the love of his life, Ramila Mistry, to help her solve a racially motivated murder in London.
London is a seething hotbed of racist antagonism. A group calling themselves Make England Great Again, is stirring up racial hatred and giving would be Nazis, a voice.
Stanley sees people in a different way but it is being an outsider that will help Stanley on his way to solving the murder,

This is a work of genius. I would go as far as to say this is the best crime novel to come out of Singapore. And certainly one of the best I have read.

It takes someone with a very deep and nuanced understanding of the sociocultural and political intricacies of both England and Singapore to create such a detective story.

And the glorious twists and turns in the plot! Neil Humphreys doesn’t disappoint.

This is not a book I would normally choose to read, but I had the opportunity via Pigeonhole.
I hate violence and bad language, so add the racism and the many many diatribes and this was a very uncomfortable read.
One point - putting the Glossary at the beginning of the book, rather than at the end, would help readers.

Low is marmite - you'll love him or hate him! This was my introduction to Neil Humphreys and Inspector Low (I know, book 3, what am I doing?!) ...but I've enjoyed it so much I'm going to go back and read the 1st two. Low is such a great character, I could imagine his unconventional investigation techniques being played out on TV. There are many echoes of reality in the book but that is not necessarily a bad thing - to recognise our failings as a society.

[Sarah Truckell · Rating 3 out of 5]

The third book in a series but I had not read the previous two so missed out on the development of the relationship between Low and Mistry. This book was quite shocking in places, very graphic but realistic. A story of a movement to Make England Great Again and the murders of people from minority groups. A hard read at times and maybe too graphic for me

[Linda Kendell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good tense action packed start, dipped a bit in the middle and then the ending was fraught. Overall an enjoyable read.
Didn’t realise that it was the 3rd in the series and whilst it works as a standalone some background was missing. Also overuse of the phrase Filial Piety stops this from being above a solid 4*

I enjoyed the book once I became used to Detective Inspector Low's ramblings which were quite disconcerting!

My first outing with Stanley Low but I didn’t feel that I needed to have read the previous two books but I will be correcting that situation. This is a murky tale rife with racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia. Inspector Low is such a great character that I will definitely miss him.

Bloody Foreigners ( Inspector Low#3 ) by Neil Humphreys is a scathing comment on racism in today’s society. It tackles all types of extremism and knife crime and has a dark view of today’s society from the police’s point of view.
