When Yale Yee discovers her cousin Celine is visiting from Hong Kong, she is obliged to play tour guide to a relative she hasn’t seen in twenty years. Not only that, but her father thinks it’s a wonderful idea for them to bond by running a food stall together at the Eastwood Village Night Market. Yale hasn’t cooked in years, and she hardly considers Celine’s career as a social media influencer as adequate experience, but because she’s just lost her job at her local bookstore, she feels she has no choice.
Yale and Celine serve small dishes and refreshing drinks, and while business is slow, it eventually picks up thanks to Celine’s surprisingly useful marketing ideas. They’re quite shocked that their bubble tea, in particular, is a hit—literally—when one of their customers turns up dead. Yale and Celine are prime suspects due to the gold flakes that Celine added to the sweet drink as a garnish. Though the two cousins are polar opposites in every way, they must work together to find out what really happened to the victim or the only thing they’ll be serving is time.

In this first in a new series, we meet Yale Yee, daughter of a restaurant owner, who prefers to live in the world of books, unencumbered by technology. Things change quickly when Yale is laid off from her bookstore job in the Eastwood Village area of Los Angeles; when her cousin Celine arrives from Hong Kong; and when her father sends both of them to staff the family food stand at the inaugural night market in Eastwood Village. The cousins couldn't be more different: Celine is an Instagram influencer, or "foodstagrammer," logging everything she eats. Celine styles the signature bubble tea Yale has devised with gold flakes and serves it in a light bulb-shaped cup to make it more Instagrammable. Their first customer--a violet-eyed woman in a ninja costume--is found dead after the market closes. When the police confirm she died from something she ate or drank and threaten to close down the market, the Yee cousins go into action to save the restaurant and the market. These sleuthing cousins will appeal to fans of food-themed mysteries. Includes recipes.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
