I’m not sure about this book. I tried to like it, there were interesting story lines but something didn’t quite flow for me. I felt like there were a few inconsistencies and the lack of capitalization for the characters Chen was frustrating. Even when the characters name began the sentence it was in lowercase! And were there two Chen characters? I was confused. Towards the end the way they were talking was just lost on me. We went from small town regular people to upper city sophistication.

I totally loved this cozy mystery completely engrossing! It followed along at a nice pace and wrapped up nicely! Five stars!
