Includes an excerpt from Dim sum of all fears.
"The last place Lana Lee thought she would ever end up is back at her family’s restaurant. But after a brutal break-up and a dramatic workplace walk-out, she figures that helping wait tables is her best option for putting her life back together. Even if that means having to put up with her mother, who is dead-set on finding her a husband. Lana’s love life soon becomes yesterday’s news once the restaurant’s property manager, Mr. Feng, turns up dead―after a delivery of shrimp dumplings from Ho-Lee. But how could this have happened when everyone on staff knew about Mr. Feng’s severe, life-threatening shellfish allergy? Now, with the whole restaurant under suspicion for murder and the local media in a feeding frenzy―to say nothing of the gorgeous police detective who keeps turning up for take-out―it’s up to Lana to find out who is behind Feng’s killer order ... before her own number is up."--Adapted from back cover.

Death by Dumpling submitted by anonymous on July 23, 2018, 11:56am I enjoy reading mysteries, and when I saw it in the new section, it intrigued me. It is a really good book, I really liked it! It is very entertaining, and it kept me hooked, especially near the end. Lana is a very comical narrator, and the setting is very unique. The book keeps you guessing about who the murderer is, and each new clue adds another level of suspicion. Vivien Chien is a very funny and entertaining author, and I can'twait to read her next book. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
