From Little Stack

I love a good homecoming story, and this mystery has that and more.

After losing her job and relationship, Lana Lee comes back to work at her family’s Chinese restaurant, Ho-Lee Noodle House. When their property manager, Mr. Feng, dies after eating some shrimp dumplings, Lana’s family’s reputation is in hot water. To solve the case, Lana and her best friend turn to sleuthing.

You’ll enjoy this humorous mystery, which is served with a side of romance as sparks fly between Lana and a local detective.

Publisher Description
Welcome to the Ho-Lee Noodle House, where the Chinese food is to die for. The last place Lana Lee thought she would ever end up is back at her family’s restaurant. But after a brutal break-up and a dramatic workplace walk-out, she figures that helping wait tables is her best option for putting her life back together. Even if that means having to put up with her mother, who is dead-set on finding her a husband. Lana’s love life soon becomes yesterday’s news once the restaurant’s property manager, Mr. Feng, turns up dead—after a delivery of shrimp dumplings from Ho-Lee. But how could this have happened when everyone on staff knew about Mr. Feng’s severe, life-threatening shellfish allergy? Now, with the whole restaurant under suspicion for murder and the local media in a feeding frenzy—to say nothing of the gorgeous police detective who keeps turning up for take-out—it’s up to Lana to find out who is behind Feng’s killer order... before her own number is up.
