Fatal Fried Rice by Vivien Chien
4.0
Lana Lee is back in the latest Noodle Shop Mystery! Since she manages the Ho-Lee Noodle House but can't cook on her own, she decides to take a Chinese cooking class in secret. Unfortunately, after their first lesson, instructor Margo Han ends up dead in a pool of the fried rice she just cooked. Lana's discovers Margo's body, and with her history of stumbling across corpses, the only way to get out of the hot seat is to solve the crime herself.
What I liked about this book:
Lana and Megan - these two are a dynamic duo, and I love how they complement each other. Both have strong personalities, and it's a pleasure to follow along with their adventures!
The Mahjong Matrons - these dim sum VIPs get a larger role in this installment! I love these charming old women and their investigative skills.
Good mix of suspects and red herrings - Lana had a number of different characters to evaluate, and Chien did a good job casting suspicion on each of them. I did not manage to guess the ending!
If you're looking for a good cozy mystery, I would definitely recommend this series!
