Trade Review
"A delicious debut! Aunty Lee's Delights is no mere whodunnit -- it sparkles with insight into the traditions and moral complexities of modern Singapore. Rosie Lee is a terrifically original heroine." -- Louise Penny, author of The Beautiful Mystery "Engaging ... Fans of Alexander McCall Smith's No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series will find a lot to like." -- Publishers Weekly "This delightfully anachronistic series debut from playwright and occasional novelist Yu (Miss Moorthy Investigates, 2012, etc.) boasts buoyant prose and a colorful cast, led by the lovably unstoppable sleuth herself." -- Kirkus Reviews
