Publisher's Summary
The New York Times bestseller
They say a tiger that devours too many humans can take the form of a man and walk among us...
In 1930s colonial Malaya, a dissolute British doctor receives a surprise gift of an eleven-year-old Chinese houseboy. Sent as a bequest from an old friend, young Ren has a mission: to find his dead master's severed finger and reunite it with his body. Ren has forty-nine days, or else his master's soul will roam the earth forever.
Ji Lin, an apprentice dressmaker, moonlights as a dancehall girl to pay her mother's debts. One night, Ji Lin's dance partner leaves her with a gruesome souvenir that leads her on a crooked, dark trail.
As time runs out for Ren's mission, a series of unexplained deaths occur amid rumours of tigers who turn into men. In their journey to keep a promise and discover the truth, Ren and Ji Lin's paths will cross in ways they will never forget.
Captivating and lushly written, The Night Tiger explores the rich world of servants and masters, ancient superstition and modern ambition, sibling rivalry and unexpected love. Woven through with Chinese folklore and a tantalizing mystery, this novel is a story of the highest order.

Captivating!
A captivating book! Beautiful narration by the author Yangsze Choo. A must listen for those who enjoy the concoction of mystery in the background of local culture and associated myths and colourful, detailed characters.

An amazing journey!!
Listening to the night tiger was a awesome experience. The story and the characters were really interesting and Yangsze Choo is a great narrator. I just wish we could have her other book, The Ghost Bride on Audible as well. I'd buy it in an instant. I totally recommend The Night Tiger. Go for it!!

Delightful!
It is both a light and thoroughly engaging book, replete with characters that are absolutely wonderful. The narration really adds to the experience of the book, I think this is one of the few books that work better as audio than on paper.

engaging and enjoyable story
Just read The Night Tiger by Yangtze Choo. It was a delightful read. After a long time I read a book which was impossible to put down.
The story takes place in Malaysia. The main proganist is a girl named Zhi which means wisdom in Chinese. It is one of the 5 Confucian virtues. She has a step brother who is called Xin, which incidentally is another Confucian virtue, trustworthiness. Zhi shares a karmik bond with her step brother and another set of twins named after another two Confucian virtues.
It is impossible to pin down the genre of the book. It is a historical fiction based in colonial Malaysia, it has elements of magical realism seamlessly weaving the local myths and superstitions. It is also a love story and a murder mystery. There is an endearing simplicity and innocence in the characters and you feel invested in each of them. Whenever I put down the book, the characters stayed in my mind and i couldn't wait to get back to the story.
If you looking for some light reading to put a smile on your face, this is the book for you. #Books

Engrossing story with a wonderful narration!
Enjoyed listening to this story quite a bit. Set in 1930s colonial/British-ruled Malaysia, or Malaya as it was known, this is an engrossing story that combines myths, folklore and modern ideas.
The twist at the end is so subtle, yet powerful and unexpected that it catches you totally by surprise.
I also enjoyed the play on the 5 Confucian virtues.
The narration by the author gives it a whole different depth. Ms. Choo has voiced the different characters so well that I can almost picture all of them.
The one thing I didn't like was the romance between the girl and her step-brother, which I found to be wholly unrelated and honestly, quite irrelevant to the story.

Splendid
Simply loved it... difficult to stop listening. Beautiful story line.
You can visualize every bit of detail as the author herself narrates the story in clear and simple use of vocabulary.
Definitely recommend it to people who love a combination of mystery and romance...

An enthralling story
The Night Tiger provides a great insight into Chinese and Malaysian superstitions. The story overall was very entertaining and the narration was good too.
I absolutely loved Ren and his relationship with Ahlong. While Ji Lin was a character I could sympathize with, I personally wasn't in favor of the way her story ends.
Overall, the book is worth a listen. There was never a boring moment.
