Review of "Aunty Lee's Delights" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I started reading this series with the 7th book (see previous review; as much as I loathe starting books that far into the series, the price was right), which I really enjoyed, and this was the first book in the series introducing us to Auntie Lee, her family and restaurant.
As with the first book that I read, I was immersed in the culture of Singapore, but I thought the author did a better job on that score with the previous book. Even with that in mind, it was a really solid mystery and one that had taken my by surprise with the reveal.
This book would appeal to those readers who enjoy a nice, leisurely stroll through an exotic local, never mind drool when reading about all those delicacies that Aunty Lee whips up.
Another solid 4 stars -- I hope more of the books come down in price …
