Death By Dumpling:

A Noodle Shop Mystery #1

by Vivien Chien

When a dumpling delivery from her family's restaurant turns deadly, Lana Lee and her roommate, Megan, decide to launch their own investigation. Now if only they could keep that dreamy Detective Trudeau from interfering!


A bit predictable in some parts, but mostly just enough to feel cozy. Some nice twists and turns. Likable characters overall. Cute dog. Breezy, easy to read style. Bonus points awarded for Cleveland. Fantastic cover and title.


I'll probably read the next in the series. The detective was alright in this one, but hopefully I'll like him a little better in Dim Sum of All Fears.
