    About this ebook

    Mah-Jongg?

    Yep. In hip Hollywood, that kitsch old game is fast becoming the next "new" obsession -- and that calls for a party! Madeline Bean and her charming partner Wesley Westcott are determined to throw a gonzo Chinese New Year banquet. But among the hot mah-jongg tiles, the steamy dim sum, and the frosty Singapore slings, no one expects to find one of the players ice-cold dead!

    Meanwhile, in one of the historic celebrity mansions that Wesley is restoring as a sideline, a well-aimed crowbar uncovers a stash of precious objects -- including an antique mah-jongg set. As Madeline pieces together how these two events are connected, she must separate the yin from the yang to uncover a killer. It doesn't take a fortune cookie to spell it out. There is always a price to pay...whether gambling at mah-jongg -- or murder.

      I enjoyed this light-hearted mystery set in California about a caterer. Madeline Bean caters parties for the elite of the West Coast, and in doing these parties, she encounters secrets and murder. This novel of the series centers on the Chinese New Year celebration, old movie actors, and the game of mah-jongg. The accidental killer in the end is now the person I suspected, but I had a wonderful trip through all the specialty foods and movie trivia.
