Raina Sun Mystery #4-6
Raina Sun Mystery Boxed Set Vol 2
This set includes books 4-6 of the Raina Sun Mystery Series. For readers who like cozy mysteries, quirky characters, a dash of humor, and Chinese-American culture.
Balmy Darlings and Deaths
Raina Sun is cashing in a gift certificate for a free hairstyle from the town’s premier beauty salon and day spa. Life is on the up-and-up—until she finds an attacker holding her best friend in a headlock outside the treatment rooms. When the attacker ends up six feet under, her best friend becomes the prime suspect. Raina summons her sleuthing skills to jump full-tilt into this murder investigation to clear her best friend’s name. With her stink-bomb-toting grandma and the geriatric posse, she soon discovers death is easy, and it’s the living that kills to protect the dead.
Sunny Mates and Murders
Raina Sun thought being a fake fiancée to an acquaintance would get her closer to her deceased grandfather's journal. But instead, she winds up cloistered in an elegant country estate, surrounded by members of the Nine Dragons Triad, a multi-generational criminal organization. When the dead body of a rival lands in her lap, Raina must prove her fake fiancé's innocence. Amid the hostile triad members, could she find the conniving killer before she becomes the next victim? And will the secret in the journal come to light?
Murky Passions and Scandals
After Raina Sun witnesses a kidnapping, the victim shows up unharmed and claims nothing happened. The case grows even murkier when Raina's client, the husband of the supposed victim, is found dead at the old pumpkin patch, the site for a contentious new mall development. Raina's new boss seems more worried about collecting their fee than seeking justice for the deceased. Can Raina see her way clear to the end, or will a storm come crashing down when the murderer realizes she's hot on the trail?

A Note from Anne:
My books are my legacy to my children. Unfortunately, they would not grow up in the San Francisco Bay Area like I did. Without a cultural hub to keep the language and philosophies alive, our family would lose this part of our heritage in one generation. My children are visitors to this rich culture, just like my readers. At its core, I always felt Chinese culture is about family and community. I hope you’ll enjoy your time with Raina Sun, Lucy Fong, and their large dynamic family.
Thank you for supporting my art,

Love this series. Stumbled across author and series when I was looking for something fun, light and entertaining. Absolutely fell in love with the characters. The interaction between Raina, her family and friends are well developed and quite believable. Obviously, Raina gets herself in trouble quite frequently. As the reader, you see something is coming, but Raina stumbles into some interesting situations. Will have to go back to read the first three for some background information then continue on with the series. Ms. Tan, you have a reader for life.

Rains Sun Mystery (Books 4-6)
I loved the Raina Sun Cozy Mysteries. It's so enjoyable to read them. She and her Po Po got into trouble. They loved to solve mysterie, and the trouble seemed to always find them.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys learning about the Chinese culture while seeing what would come next came next. I hope you grab a copy to read and giggle or belly laugh to the end.

Raina Sun
Raina Sun, ex-engineer, history grad student, and delightfully nosy person continues to try to figure out her life while playing Sherlock to her feisty grandmother's Watson. Best way to enjoy this series is to begin with the first book, Raining Men and Corpses, and keep reading.
