The third in a tasty series, Murder Lo Mein by Vivien Chien is a delight
Everyone agrees that the food at Ho-Lee Noodle House is delicious--unless it happens to be deadly.
Lana Lee's stake in her family's Chinese restaurant is higher than ever now that she's been made manager. So when she enters Ho-Lee into Cleveland's Best Noodle Contest, Lana makes it her business to win--at all costs. But when a local food critic receives a threatening note in a fortune cookie and is later found dead, face-down in a bowl of lo mein, all bets are off. . .
Now, along with her sweet-and-sour boyfriend Detective Adam Trudeau, Lana decides to take matters into her own hands and dig into the lives of everyone involved in the contest. But when she receives an ill-fated fortune, Lana realizes that in order to save the reputation of her restaurant, she needs to save herself first. . .

Welcome back to Ho-Lee Noodle House, where you can get fantastic take-out. . .unless you get taken out first.
"Vivien Chien serves up a delicious mystery with a side order of soy sauce and sass. A tasty start to a new mystery series " --Bestselling author Kylie Logan on Death by Dumpling
Dim Sum of All Fears is the second book in a delicious new cozy series.
Lana Lee is a dutiful daughter, waiting tables at her family's Chinese restaurant even though she'd rather be doing just about anything else. Then, just when she has a chance for a "real" job, her parents take off to Taiwan, leaving Lana in charge. Surprising everyone--including herself--she turns out to be quite capable of running the place. Unfortunately, the newlyweds who just opened the souvenir store next door to Ho-Lee have turned up dead. . .and soon Lana finds herself in the midst of an Asia Village mystery.
Between running the Ho-Lee and trying to figure out whether the rock-solid Detective Adam Trudeau is actually her boyfriend, Lana knows she shouldn't pry into the case. But the more she learns about the dead husband, his ex-wives, and all the murky details of the couple's past, the more Lana thinks that this so-called murder/suicide is a straight-up order of murder. . .

Описание: Quand Mikhail Boulgakov publie Coeur de chien en 1925, la Russie sovietique beneficie d'une relative liberte creatrice avant la nuit noire du stalinisme qui s'annonce. En d'autres temps le sujet de son roman lui aurait valu quelques annees de goulag. Que l'on en juge Un professeur greffe sur un chien ramasse dans les rues de Moscou l'hypophyse d'un individu qui vient de mourir. L'animal se metamorphose alors en un petit homme ivrogne, grossier et mechant: le donneur etait un voyou alcoolique et sans scrupule. Et voila le professeur harcele et poursuivi par des comites etatiques et proletariens en tout genre, guides et fanatises par le chien devenu homme. Et pire, homme de parti Comme toujours chez Boulgakov, l'irrationnel, la derision et la folie rejoignent une realite cauchemardesque. L'ecrivain demeure le plus grand et le plus lucide des chroniqueurs satiriques de cette epoque totalitaire et tragique. Traduction nouvelle de Vladimir Volkoff.
