Hot and Sour Suspects by Vivien Chien

5.0

Such a fun series that always leaves me hungry for more! I thoroughly enjoyed the latest installment in the Noodle Shop Mystery series - a cozy contemporary series set in Ohio, featuring amateur sleuth Lana Lee. In this one, Lana and her best friend Megan Riley host a speed-dating event at Lana's family's restaurant (Ho-Lee Noodle House) that goes splendidly...until one of the participants shows up dead the following day. Lana is enlisted by an old friend to help figure out what happened, much to the chagrin of her police detective boyfriend, Adam Trudeau. The pacing was great and kept me guessing until the end. Plus, I loved reconnecting with Lana, her family and friends, and the Ho-Lee Noodle House regulars. It's always so much fun spending time with them, even when murder is on the menu. I can't wait for entry #9 to come out later this month!

While I always enjoy the books in this warm and wonderful series, I appreciated reading this one even more after reading the Author's Note at the end. Brava!
