Murder Lo Mein (A Noodle Shop Mystery, 3)
The third in a tasty series, Murder Lo Mein by Vivien Chien is a delight!
Everyone agrees that the food at Ho-Lee Noodle House is delicious—unless it happens to be deadly.
Lana Lee’s stake in her family’s Chinese restaurant is higher than ever now that she’s been made manager. So when she enters Ho-Lee into Cleveland’s Best Noodle Contest, Lana makes it her business to win—at all costs. But when a local food critic receives a threatening note in a fortune cookie and is later found dead, face-down in a bowl of lo mein, all bets are off. . .
Now, along with her sweet-and-sour boyfriend Detective Adam Trudeau, Lana decides to take matters into her own hands and dig into the lives of everyone involved in the contest. But when she receives an ill-fated fortune, Lana realizes that in order to save the reputation of her restaurant, she needs to save herself first. . .

Out of all of the books from the noodle shop, mystery series, that I've read so far murder Line is my favorite. I found that the mystery and the suspects carried the reader and Lena further through the narrative than the other books did.
We also got to know more about Adam's character and his past, and we got to see Lena, go back-and-forth between her relationship with Adam and this new temptation of Freddy a project manager coming into the Asian village. I loved seeing Lena reconnect with her grandmother, even though there is a language barrier between the two of them.
The best part for me reading Murder lo Mein was being caught up in mystery and being introduced to more characters both inside and outside of he Asian Village community.

Again I'm writing this review almost a week later, so I don't have anything specific to this book to really. I gave this one an extra star because there was a lot of Adam/Lana content and I'm a huge Adam/Lana shipper. I'm also obsessed with protective!Adam who still allows Lana her agency. Best fictional boyfriend tbh.
