Posted @withregram • @bookscatsbaseball Happy Pub Day to Hot Pot Murder by Jennifer J. Chow!
*Thank you @NetGalley @BerkleyPub for my digital review copy*
QOTD: Do you like Asian food, do you have a favorite? If you don’t have one, what are you having for dinner? I’m Chinese, but I also love Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian.
Hot Pot Murder is the second book in the LA Night Market series. I love the main characters, cousins Yale and Celine, who are total opposites, but bring out the best in each other.
When the president of the local restaurant owner’s association dies, Celine wants to figure out what happened once his death is ruled a homicide. There are plenty of red herrings and no shortage of suspects. I was surprised who the murderer turned out to be, although I did suspect this person was up to no good.
The underlying themes of family and food are once again prominent in this sequel. After reading all the yummy descriptions, I was left craving fan tuan (stuffed sticky rice roll) and youtiao (Chinese doughnut).
