A wonderful cozy mystery from Singapore. The set up was familiar, but the setting and dialect was different. Fabulous. Aunty Lee is wonderful!
This was just an okay foodie Murder mystery. I would definitely compare it to other similar books but I think this book was tonally different. It was quite somber with a lot of mentions of suicide, grief, homophobia etc. I think all of these things limited my enjoyment but I think I could like the rest of the series more.
I received this book at Bouchercon 2013 where I had the pleasure of meeting the author.
Loved the book and the characterization. It was particularly interesting to see people from different cultures meeting each other in a setting so different from the one I know.
I look forward to read other books from this author.
