Description
Murder is on the menu at Riverbend's favorite Chinese restaurant...
When Mei Lin Zhang hosts a charity dinner at her beloved Lotus Blossom restaurant, she never imagines it will end in murder. But when wealthy patron Evelyn Bradshaw collapses after tasting her favorite wonton soup, Mei Lin's family legacy is suddenly at stake.
With her restaurant cordoned off by police tape and whispers spreading through town faster than hot gossip at Brew Haven Café, Mei Lin knows she must find the killer to clear Lotus Blossom's name. The trouble is, half the town had reason to want Evelyn dead.
Was it Vanessa Price, the elegant event planner with secrets worth killing to protect? Councilwoman Camilla Torres, whose ambitious development plans were repeatedly blocked by Evelyn? Or rival restaurateur Patrick Lee, publicly humiliated after Evelyn rejected his desperate plea for investment?
Aided by her artistic sister Lily, loyal nephew Benny, and best friend Angela from the flower shop next door, Mei Lin follows a trail of clues that leads from Town Hall to The Dockside Inn, uncovering blackmail, shady business deals, and long-buried secrets along the way.
As she gets closer to the truth, a threatening note appears at Lotus Blossom, warning Mei Lin that she could be next. With Detective Caleb Morris urging caution and time running out before the restaurant's reputation is irreparably damaged, Mei Lin must use her knowledge of Riverbend's hidden connections to trap a killer -- before they serve up a second course of murder.
Wonton Wrongdoing is the charming first installment in the Lotus Blossom Mystery series, perfect for fans of culinary cozies, small-town intrigue, and amateur sleuths with a knack for uncovering deadly secrets.
