Shattered at Sea by Cheryl Hollon is the fifth book in the Webb's Glass Shop Mystery series. Savannah, owner of Webb's Glass Shop, has been offered a temporary job as a glassblower on a cruise ship. Her boyfriend, Edward, and his cousin, Ian, are going along. The trip gets off to a bad start when Ian goes missing. While the ship's security suspects suicide, Savannah and Edward are not convinced and begin their own investigation. The change of scenery was a nice touch. The mystery moved along quickly and kept me guessing until the end. I enjoyed the information about glassblowing as well.
Tina Kashian's second book in the Kebab Kitchen Mystery series is Stabbed in the Baklava. Lucy agrees to take on a catering job for a high society wedding. She thinks it is the perfect opportunity to prove she can run Kebab Kitchen. When the best man winds up dead in the locked catering van, Kebab Kitchen's head chef is the prime suspect. The book had several twists and turns. The only thing missing is some hummus recipes. All of the descriptions of the varieties on the hummus bar have me hungry for my own to enjoy!
Dim Sum of all Fears by Vivien Chien is the second book in the Noodle Shop Mystery series. Lana is all set for a second interview for an office job and a way out of her parents' noodle shop. Her plans are for naught when her parents announce they are going to Taiwan and put her in charge of the restaurant. Soon after they leave the couple who own the shop next door are found dead. The apparent murder-suicide is just a cover up for something more sinister. The setting of Asia Village is a place I wish I could go to in real life. The characters only add to the charm.disclosure: I received these e-books through NetGalley but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews. All opinions are my own!
