"Lana Lee is all smiles when the first evening of Cleveland's Asian Night Market kicks off the summer. The weekly festival is always good for business, packed with locals and tourists, and this year, some stiff new food-truck competition. Wonton on Wheels, run by old friends of Lana's parents, promises to have customers lining up for their delicately wrapped delights--until the truck blows up at evening's end. Lana's boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, had been planning a birthday getaway for the two of them but, lo and behold, Lana must assume the role of amateur sleuth yet again. With one proprietor of Wonton on Wheels dead, it's beginning to look more like murder and less like an unfortunate accident. And as they begin to unwrap layers of disturbing secrets, Lana's own family erupts into new drama. Will Lana be able to solve this crime--or has she jumped from the wok right into the fire?"-- Publisher's description.

Liked the premise, but… submitted by camelsamba on July 30, 2023, 7:52pm I snagged this from a Little Free Library while traveling. Was intrigued by the premise - after all, I enjoy cozy mysteries and food-connected mysteries. However, I was not impressed with the writing style or dialog and did not connect with any characters. I won't continue the series.
