Killer Noodle Contest
It’s time for the annual Cleveland’s Best Noodle contest, and, as the new manager for her family’s restaurant, Lana Lee is really feeling the pressure even if she’s not the one doing the actual cooking. The first day of the contest appears to be going well until the head judge reports a suspicious fortune in his cookie. When he dies a few hours later, Lana can’t help but poke around. Will she find out what happened?

The book does a good job of quickly setting up the suspects and getting the story moving. I did feel like the pacing lagged a bit as the suspects just gave Lana the run around, but she was frustrated by that as well, so I was in good company. I do wish the minor characters were given a bit more context when they popped up again, but that was a minor issue. I appreciated the character development we got here, although I did feel like some of it was cliched. Still, I do love Lana and enjoy seeing how her life is progressing. Overall, I did enjoy this book and look forward to visiting Lana again in the future.
