Happy Book Birthday to HOT POT MURDER!

Yes, it’s release day for Hot Pot Murder! Hooray, Jen!

Here are a few reviews for fun:
“Great characters and a delightful mystery filled with luscious descriptions of food.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The second installment of Chow’s cozy mystery series set at a California market, Hot Pot Murder is as charming and delightful as the first…Spending time with these characters is a treat, but—full warning—this book will make you hungry.”—Parade

ABOUT THE BOOK

Trouble is brewing for cousins Yale and Celine Yee after a hot pot dinner gets overheated and ends in murder in this second novel of the L.A. Night Market series by Jennifer J. Chow.

Yale and Celine Yee’s food stall business is going so well that they’ve been invited to join an exclusive dinner with the local restaurant owners association. The members gather together for a relaxing hot pot feast…until Jeffery Vue, president of the group, receives a literal shock to his system and dies. 

Everyone at the meal is a suspect, but the authorities are homing in on family friend Ai Ho, owner of the restaurant where Jeffery was killed—and Yale’s dad is a close second on their list. Yale and Celine step up to the plate and investigate the dinner attendees: the association’s ambitious VP, a familiar frenemy, a ramen king, a snacks shopkeeper, and a second-generation restaurateur. It’s up to the detecting duo to figure out what really happened before their friends and family have to close their businesses for good.

  10. Happy Book Birthday Jennifer. I pre ordered it through Barnes and Nobles and they say it is in the mail. Hopefully I will get it today! I love your new series. The girls are a hoot! Celebrate with good food and great friends. Or hug a dog… Last night we went to get Egg Fu Yung to bring home and forgot the restaurant was closed on Mondays. My taste buds have not recovered from wanting that. We settled for homemade Shrimp Creole on rice (which was delicious by the way) and asparagus. But you know how it is when you crave a certain something and don’t get it, I am sure. That is how I feel about reading your book. I want it and I want it now. Ha! The bad thing is I will want more, so keep on writing the adventures of Yale and Yee…

      1. I misspelled Egg Foo Yung. Well, we are getting it tonight, so my food cravings (I could not think of that phrase, and you did from my description–thanks) will be satisfied. You understood though. We have a great Chines restaurant here in ATL that serves a fabulous Dim Sum called Canton House. Not many serve it. I had never heard of Dim Sum until we had it in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It became a favorite. I have not eaten Hot Pot yet as it sounds too hot for me not have I had Bubble Tea. So, you are introducing me to new things. Keep on writing and informing your readers.
