The Singapore restaurant owner and amateur sleuth must solve a deadly case of poisoning in this “delicious sophomore entry [with] a sly bracing edge” (Kirkus Reviews).

Few know more about what goes on in Singapore than Rosie “Aunty” Lee. When a scandal over illegal organ donation makes news, she already has a list of suspects. There’s no time to snoop, though—Aunty Lee’s Delights is catering a brunch for local socialites Henry and Mabel Sung at their opulent house.

Rumor has it that the Sung family fortune is in trouble, and Aunty Lee wonders if the gossip is true. But she’s more than curious when Mabel and her son are found dead. The authorities blame it on Aunty Lee’s special stewed chicken with buah keluak, a local black nut that can be poisonous if cooked improperly.

Aunty Lee has never carelessly prepared a dish. She’s certain the deaths are murder—and that they’re somehow linked to the organ donor scandal. To save her business and her reputation, she’s got to prove it—and unmask a dangerous killer whose next victim may just be Aunty Lee.
