Fiction. Mystery. HTML:Two cousins who start a food stall at their local night market get a serving of murder in this first novel of a delicious new cozy mystery series by Jennifer J. Chow, bestselling author of Mimi Lee Gets a Clue.
When Yale Yee discovers her cousin Celine is visiting from Hong Kong, she is obliged to play tour guide to a relative she hasn’t seen in twenty years. Not only that, but her father thinks it’s a wonderful idea for them to bond by running a food stall together at the Eastwood Village Night Market. Yale hasn’t cooked in years, and she hardly considers Celine’s career as a social media influencer as adequate experience, but because she’s just lost her job at her local bookstore, she feels she has no choice.
 
Yale and Celine serve small dishes and refreshing drinks, and while business is slow, it eventually picks up thanks to Celine’s surprisingly useful marketing ideas. They’re quite shocked that their bubble tea, in particular, is a hit—literally—when one of their customers turns up dead. Yale and Celine are prime suspects due to the gold flakes that Celine added to the sweet drink as a garnish. Though the two cousins are polar opposites in every way, they must work together to find out what really happened to the victim or the only thing they’ll be serving is time.

Can’t wait to read the sequel. I’m loving cozy mysteries lately. ( )

Hello Fellow Readers,

I really enjoyed this book. I knew I was going to since cozy mysteries are one of my favorites genres, but I was surprised at how much. In the beginning, I wasn't sure about Yale. She's a booklover but doesn't like technology, doesn't have a computer or a phone. I thought she would be obnoxious about it, but she isn't. Yale really did grow on me, her quick thinking combined with her tenacity to solve this case really makes you like her.

I was also really surprised that I liked Celine as much as I did. You think she would be this self-centered, airheaded influencer, but she's the opposite. Celine was my favorite characters and I really wished that we got a couple of chapters from her POV. The only person I really despised (besides the killer) was Nik and his whole side story. I felt it was unnecessary and really didn't add anything. This kinda sucks because I have a feeling he's going to get a bigger role with the next book and could become a potential love interest .

The story was good, and kept he entertained but I did end up guessing who the killer was although not how thy committed the murder. This doesn't take away from the story at all though and how much I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be looking into Chow's other books because I really like Chow's writing. I will also definitely be picking up the next book in this series.

Overall, a very good start to which I am hoping is a solid mystery series. ( )

Death by Bubble Tea by Jennifer J. Chow is a 2022 Berkley publication.

I really wanted to like this one. The title and cover were a big draw, but unfortunately, the book was too busy, with far too many characters. The dialogue is stilted and unnatural, there’s very little chemistry or emotion between the cousins- and the mystery just did not grab me.

1.5 stars ( )

Jennifer J. Chow cooks up some great bubble tea and clever cozy mystery. I was sure that I liked Celine when she came to visit Yale Yee but I sure did at the end.

Loved that this cozy is family one, I loved her father and I definitely want to read the next book ib this series, Hot Pot Murder or Huo Guo in Mandarin. I lived in the LA area and grew to love downtown LA and all the Chinese Neighborhoods, the food, music and the people. Beside enjoying a page turner cozy mystery, this book back some many cherised memories of Boba tea and Dim Tea. I remember crying when we drove a long ways to find out that our favorite Chinese vegetarian had closed. We ate their with a Buddist monk, on dates and had a few small wedding dinners there.

The murder weapon turns to be one that I would have never have thought of, I was fascinated to the end!

If you love the Chinese food scene of LA and cozy mysteries, this book will be perfect for you! ( )
