Wonton Terror A Noodle Shop Mystery

Lana Lee works at Ho-Lee Noodle House in Cleveland, and the opening evening of the Asian Night Market, which marks the start of summer, looks promising. The weekly festival draws locals and tourists and usually boosts business at the restaurant. This year a new food truck, Wonton on Wheels, joins the competition. Its owners are old friends of Lana's parents, and customers are already queuing for their dumplings.

At the end of the evening the truck blows up. One of the people running it is dead, and as the facts come in, the blast looks less like an accident and more like murder. Lana's boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, had planned a birthday getaway for the two of them, but she ends up investigating again as an amateur sleuth.

The deeper Lana and those around her dig, the more disturbing secrets surface. Her own family is pulled into fresh turmoil at the same time, so the case reaches into her home life as well as the market.

This is the fourth book in the Noodle Shop mystery series. It is a cozy mystery with a food-world setting and a light tone, built around a small community, a family tied to the victims, and an amateur detective with a police contact close by.
