I got an email with this book as a sale at chirp books. So I got the audiobook for only four dollars. I have enjoyed this author’s work before, so I thought I would give it a try. This is in a series, but for me, it did work as a standalone. The high jinx that happened in the previous novels are explained pretty well in this volume.
This revolves around Madeline and Nathan‘s wedding, Madeline and her family meeting Nathan‘s family. Although he comes from Singapore, he left there when he was very young and doesn’t know that much about the culture. I would classify this as a cozy mystery, the aunties are very endearing. The author finds a way to stay true to the culture and the characteristics of Indonesian women, without relying on stereotypes.
Like most cozy mysteries, some of the storyline is a bit convenient, but overall it’s a cute book
