"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. . .

I'm honestly reading these so fast that I'm already on book #6 and I'm writing this review five days later, so I don't particularly have anything to write about this book that I hadn't written for the first book. I continued to enjoy all the Asian aspects of this book, and I think something I particularly appreciate about this series is that it's not like the character could be white-coded and the author simply made her Asian. They built so much of the Asian culture around the character that she is very specifically Asian without focusing on her Asian identity per se, and it's so refreshing to get something like that.
I hadn't realized that I wanted a "normal" story with Asian characters (aka a book that's not about ~finding your heritage or something) until I got one.
