Lana Lee is a dutiful daughter, waiting tables at her family’s Chinese restaurant even though she’d rather be doing just about anything else. Then, just when she has a chance for a “real” job, her parents take off to Taiwan, leaving Lana in charge. Surprising everyone—including herself—she turns out to be quite capable of running the place. Unfortunately, the newlyweds who just opened the souvenir store next door to Ho-Lee have turned up dead. . .and soon Lana finds herself in the midst of an Asia Village mystery.
Between running the Ho-Lee and trying to figure out whether the rock-solid Detective Adam Trudeau is actually her boyfriend, Lana knows she shouldn’t pry into the case. But the more she learns about the dead husband, his ex-wives, and all the murky details of the couple’s past, the more Lana thinks that this so-called murder/suicide is a straight-up order of murder. . .
Asia Village has turned into the latest murder hotspot with this 2nd in a wonderful cozy series.
Lana and a lot of others are happy to see the empty shop next to the noodle shop open for business, Lana is even happier when she realises that she, and the young woman next door have a lot in common, but Lana does't expect it to include murder of the young woman, and it appears also her husband! Now with two ex wives (oh and some girlfriends) crawling out of the woodwork, Lana's parents suddenly heading to Tainwan (and leaving Lana in charge), Lana has a lot more than Dim Sum on her plate.
Luckily she has her best friend and housemate Megan supporting her snooping (and her boyfriend Detective Adam Trudeau doing anything BUT supporting it) and all she needs to do is keep the restaurant busy and happy through the Chinese New Year and find the killer, err easy?
