Crime Rangoon

Lana Lee, the proprietor of Asia Village’s Ho-Lee Noodle House, is thrilled to assist her favorite mystery author, Charlene Chan, at a signing event to celebrate the author’s newest bestseller. But when the writer is found dead in the bookstore on the day of the event, Lana dives into another murder investigation alongside her detective boyfriend and best friends. When parallels between the murder and the book’s plot become evident, Lana desperately tries to avoid the same ending. Fans of Chien’s “Noodle Shop Mystery” series will be comforted by the return of series narrator Kay and her exacting enunciations. Kay lends her signature warmth to Lana, welcoming new listeners and longtime fans alike. Kay especially shines in her smart portrayal of the three main women characters, distinguishing them with distinct intonation, pitch, and pacing, making the listening feel immersive and true to life.
