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
