It is finally her turn to host Chinese New Year celebrations and our MC is very excited to pull out all of the stops however her son brings home his new fiancee and the celebrations turn deadly when she is poisoned. As her son becomes the prime suspect for the murder, our MC works her way through the guests to find somewhere else to point the police and quickly discovers that everyone has reason to want the fiancee dead.

I really enjoyed this short story and was engaged from start to finish. I quite enjoyed the MC sticking her nose into everyone’s business whilst also being aggrieved at the police wearing shoes in her house. The characters were big and bold but felt almost like you could recognise them as people you knew all too well. The final reveal of the story was satisfying and enjoyable.
