The second in Ovidia Yu’s Aunty Lee series, Aunty Lee’s Deadly Specials, is 99p on Kindle at the moment – I don’t know how long this deal is going to last, but this was a Book of the Week when I read it and so this seemed like a good time to remind you of Ovidia Yu’s excellent Singapore-set cozy mystery series. Aunty Lee is an older lady detective – something that I’ve always loved in murder mysteries – but this time she’s also well connected and relatively wealthy widow and restaurant owner. The food always sounds amazing in this, and the mysteries are fun. If you liked the society vibe in Crazy Rich Asians, this will give you something similar (slightly less affluent but still similar) in the cozy crime world. Do go and read my original series post as well and don’t forget Yu’s other Singapore-set mystery series – the historical Crown Colony series.
Have a great weekend!
