The Eighth Noodle Shop Mystery
Lana Lee is looking to improve business at the Ho-Lee Noodle House. Taking her roommate's suggestion, Lana brings speed-dating to her family's restaurant. All is going well, until a woman starts to make a scene. Lana, Megan, and Kimmy quickly escort the woman out, but their friend Rina still seems smitten with the man in question. Against everyone's advice, including that of the raving woman, Rina leaves with the man. Later that night Rina calls 911; the man in questioned has been murdered. Lana is sure her friend is innocent and begins to do a little investigating, even though Rina tells her not to. But the more Lana uncovers, the more guilty Rina appears. Could Rina actually be guilty?
Is the apocalypse nigh? Megan and Kimmy are getting along and working together, while Lana's perfect sister is the subject of gossip? Things are certainly a bit sideways, if not upside down, in this, the eighth Noodle House Mystery. Modern day dilemmas are touched on with gravitas, but humor as well. In fact, the humor is one of the things I like best about this series. I also really enjoy the characters and truly see them as friends. I love the Mahjong Matrons and think it's brilliant that Lana tries to use them to spread her own version of gossip in order to dispel another.
HOT AND SOUR SUSPECTS is a great addition to this delectable series easily combining humor and fun relatable characters in a well crafted mystery.
