A nice taste of Hawaiian history enlivens this mystery.
Not a great mystery, but fantastic for the atmosphere and setting in 1949 NY.
This is the first in a series of four books which feature Lily Wu and Janice Cameron. This first takes place in New York in 1949.
Cameron takes a room in a boarding house in the city and agrees to share with a beautiful Oriental girl,Lily Wu. Shortly after they settle in,the caretaker is murdered and all of the lodgers are of course suspect. Not long after,there is yet another murder and Wu,with the help of Cameron,investigates.
The book is of interest mainly because it introduces these two characters,who develop greatly in the later books. These take place in Hawaii.
'The Chinese Chop' itself is rather pedestrian and is only of passing interest.… (altro)

That said, it's a really charming mystery set in Maui in the 1950s with two lady sleuths who believe me do not take shit from anyone. Refreshing and clever, I'll definitely be checking out Sheridan's other novels as well as others in this Rue Morgue reprint series. Lots of fun.
