Two cousins who start a food stall at their local night market get a serving of murder in this first novel of a delicious new cozy mystery series by Jennifer J. Chow, bestselling author of Mimi Lee Gets a Clue.
When Yale Yee discovers her cousin Celine is visiting from Hong Kong, she is obliged to play tour guide to a relative she hasn’t seen in twenty years. Not only that, but her father thinks it’s a wonderful idea for them to bond by running a food stall together at the Eastwood Village Night Market. Yale hasn’t cooked in years, and she hardly considers Celine’s career as a social media influencer as adequate experience, but because she’s just lost her job at her local bookstore, she feels she has no choice.
 
Yale and Celine serve small dishes and refreshing drinks, and while business is slow, it eventually picks up thanks to Celine’s surprisingly useful marketing ideas. They’re quite shocked that their bubble tea, in particular, is a hit—literally—when one of their customers turns up dead. Yale and Celine are prime suspects due to the gold flakes that Celine added to the sweet drink as a garnish. Though the two cousins are polar opposites in every way, they must work together to find out what really happened to the victim or the only thing they’ll be serving is time.

      Narrator Stephanie Sheh brings her considerable talents to the first audiobook of this Los Angeles-based series featuring young, single Yale Yee. Sheh effectively differentiates the many male and female characters of varying ages and ethnic backgrounds. But sadly, while the voice Sheh uses for Yee matches the character, it has an irritating nasal quality. Practical, tech-resistant Yee partners with her glamourous cousin, Celine, who is visiting from Hong Kong, to solve the murder of a customer of the market stall the two were managing. Listeners will gain insight into the cultures and foods that are central to the story. Recipes are included at the end, including one for bubble tea. E.Q. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
