Summary: Delightful, a fun read!
Review: This was a well written mystery story. The plot moved at a brisk pace, and had lots of colorful characters. For example, Quita, our victim, is a young woman surrounded by mystery, in her death and in her life. I also enjoyed the references to the menus Madeline and Wes were serving at the Mahjong parties; my mouth was watering for Dim Sum several times! I enjoyed Madeline's up and down love life in the story as much as the murder mystery. It is obvious that Madeline has reached a point in her life where she is looking for more from her relationship, and her public breakup with her boyfriend (over a hamburger) seemed quite fitting. The outcome was not obvious, but once all the loose ends were tied up, it was the only ending to this story. Overall, an enjoyable book, with plenty of action, with very little actual violence. A palatable and satisfying reading experience, worth 5 stars.
