Rosie โAuntyโ Leeโfeisty widow, amateur sleuth and proprietor of Singaporeโs best-loved home cooking restaurantโis back in another delectable, witty mystery set in Singapore.
Slightly hobbled by a twisted ankle, crime-solving restaurateur Aunty Lee begrudgingly agrees to take a rest from running her famous cafรฉ, Aunty Leeโs Delights, and turns over operations to her friend and new business partner Cherril.
The cafรฉ serves as a meeting place for an animal rescue society that Cherril once supported. They were forced to dissolve three years earlier after a British expat killed the puppy sheโd adopted, sparking a firestorm of scandal. The expat, Allison Fitzgerald, left Singapore in disgrace, but has returned with an ax to grind (and a lawsuit). At the cafรฉ one afternoon, Cherril receives word that Allison has been found dead in her hotelโand foul play is suspected. When a veterinarian, who was also involved in the scandal, is found dead, suspicion soon falls on the animal activists. What started with an internet witch hunt has ended in murderโand in a tightly knit, law-and-order society like Singapore, everyone is on edge.
Before anyone else gets hurtโand to save her businessโ Aunty Lee must get to the bottom of what really happened three years earlier, and figure out who is to be trusted in this tangled web of scandal and lies.
