Aunty Lee's Chilled
Revenge
Ovidia Yu
Aunty
Lee is a widow and amateur detective who runs a home style cooking
restaurant in Singapore. In this book she is on the hunt for Allison
Love's killer. Allison recently returned to Singapore in order to
take legal action against some of Aunty Lee's friends and customers
who used to work as an animal rescue group. After Allison adopted a
pet from their shelter, she had the animal put down. Following a huge
outcry over the animal's death she was forced to leave Singapore in
disgrace. Now she is back claiming that earlier events led to the
break down of her marriage and therefore she is planing legal action
against the group's members.
After
Allison is discovered dead, Aunty Lee is not only involved in the
running of her restaurant but she is also looking after Allison's
sister Vallerie. Vallerie is alone in Singapore, and while she and
Allison were not always close she his having a hard time dealing with
her death. She is also proving to be more than a handful for Aunty
Lee. And with the further death of a veterinarian, who was involved
in the previous scandal with Allison Love, Aunty Lee is determined to
find out who is behind the killings.
This
was a fun and interesting read. I particularly liked Aunty Lee, she
was wise and feisty as well as observant. The description of the
exotic cuisine and characters makes this quite an enticing story. I
will be looking for more Aunty Lee episodes in the future. I also
think this series would make a great film or television movie due to
the exotic dishes mentioned and the interesting location.
Thanks
to Goodreads giveaway for allowing me to read this book in exchange
for an honest review.
