A quick, fun read!
The one thing that I did notice in this installment was that in every Chinese restaurant Lana eats at, none of them seem to serve family style! I thought maybe because it was lunch time and they would order lunch specials, but then she and Melanie go to dinner and they also just order for themselves. And these are the things I think about.
Murder Lo Mein is the third in the Noodle Shop Mystery series. There's a competition going on to decide Cleveland's Best Noodle, and Lana Lee is hoping her family's restaurant, Ho-Lee Noodle House, takes the prize. But things are put on hold when judge Norman Pan receives a threatening fortune cookie and then drops dead after the first round.
Lana is determined to help her maybe-boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, solve the mystery. She's persistent, and with the help of friends and family, she digs a little deeper into the lives of everyone involved in the contest. Turns out a lot of people might have had a reason to want Norman Pan dead. Then another judge is killed, and the tension ratchets up a notch. When Lana receives an ominous fortune cookie herself, you've got to wonder - will she be next?
Lana Lee is a delightful heroine. She's clever, has a sweet tooth (like me!), and generally able to think pretty quickly in a jam. This is the first of the Noodle Shop Mysteries that I've read, but I will be back for more. #MurderLoMein #NetGalley
