Dim Sum, Dead Some

Josie Tucker Mysteries, Book 2

De: EM Kaplan

Narrado por: Sunny Lu

Ivan Sorokin is missing. Who wants him out of the picture - his wife, his business partner, or the stripper who holds his heart?

Josie Tucker stands on Beach Street with her back to the San Francisco wharf. Above her, the Ghirardelli sign winks in the dusky twilight, seducing her. The ice cream parlor lights beckon like a lactose lothario, a casein casanova, trying hard to woo her. But her heart longs for dumplings, for dim sum.

Dim sum means "heart's delight." Imagine nibbling at a savory golden pouch stuffed with delicately seasoned meat. If a lover offers the morsel on the tips of exquisitely lacquered chopsticks late in the morning while reclining on silken cushions - that's food for the heart.

Chinatown. Dim sum. Murder. Josie's perfect ingredients for adventure.

Great Book

This is a fun series that I really enjoy. I can't wait for the next book.

I LOVED this series!

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book. Josie is the perfect amateur sleuth and food critic, though she is challenged by gastric issues that put a hamper on her livelihood. This is a fun, fast-paced mystery filled with twists and turns I didn't expect. A real page turner! And Sunny Lu was a fabulous narrator. Great series. I know what I want for Christmas...Dead Man on Campus. Thanks EM!

The Philosophy of Food . . . with a Side of Murder

By happenstance I have encountered the Josie Tucker tales in random order so read book 3 or 4 first and now book 2. The good news is they all stand well on their own. The better news is I now understand about the good Father. Largely written somewhat tongue in cheek, our hapless heroine finds herself in physical danger as often as Sam Spade--and truly hasn't the physique! The action is fast paced; clues are provided, but the twisted plot surprises caught me off guard with "Oh, yeah, that totally makes sense" aha moments. Narrator Sunny Lu does an excellent job voicing not only the main character but the entire cast [AUDIO], contributing additional immediacy to a delightful story.

Will Blog for Food

I like Josie Tucker, this quirky Asian American food critic with food allergies. She is smart and sassy, still trying to discover who she is and what she wants from life in her twenties. Although she doesn't drink often, Josie needs to learn to do so in moderation -- witness a quickie Las Vegas wedding that she barely remembers, and a crash course in becoming a mascot for a group of well-meaning strippers with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Josie has an eye for detail and a knack for asking the right questions - mostly. These are good traits for investigating, but also land her in difficult spots.
When Josie blogs about food, you can almost see it, smell it and taste it. OMG!!! This is Book 2 in the series. Now I want to read Book 1.
