The first book in the series is Death by Dumpling which sees Lana Lee end up at the last place she ever thought she would in life: her family’s restaurant. Things get interesting when the property manager Mr. Feng is found dead shortly after getting a delivery from the restaurant. Mr. Feng received shrimp dumplings despite everyone on staff knowing he was allergic to shellfish. The whole restaurant is a suspect in what is being treated as a murder and it’s up to Lana to clear her family’s name and find the killer.
Murder Lo Mein is another great book in this series. This book sees Lana taking a greater interest in her family’s business as she enters Ho-Lee Noodle House into a competition for Cleveland’s Best Noodle. She wants to win, but when a food critic receives a threatening note in a fortune cookie and is found dead – things take a turn. Lana once again finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and decides to take matters into her own hands to find out who sent the fortune cookie and why.
