Death by Dumpling

This was the first in the Noodle Shop Mysteries and I really enjoyed it. The characters were interesting, there were lots of twists, red herrings and secrets. The Plaza where it all takes place is quirky and like many good cozies; there is a lovable best friend, a pet and a potential love interest.

Vivien Chien started out strong and I think she is now on her 9th Noodle Shop Mystery. I would definitely read more of them.

This one involves Lana Lee who has come home to her parents noodle shop after a bad break up. She settles into a routine and is working, hanging out with her dog, chatting with her roommate and watching too much Netflix.

When a murder happens in the Plaza she is determined to find out who's behind it and begins to uncover the many secrets that have been hidden by the owners of the local shops. Any one of them could be the murderer.
