In DIM SUM DEAD, Madeline Bean, events planner extraordinaire, is planning a mouthwatering gourmet Chinese meal for a jetset mah jongg party. But she never expects the discovery of an antique mah jongg set to turn into murder, and before she knows it, she's piecing together the questionable death of a Hollywood star, the adoption of Chinese babies, gourmet Chinese food, mah jongg and murder to solve one fast-paced, funny, and frenetic mystery. Madeline Bean gets wrapped up in a melange of mah-jongg and murder in the latest mouth-watering entree in the Agatha Award-nominated Macavity Award-winning series.

Mah-Jongg

Yep. In hip Hollywood, that kitsch old game is fast becoming the next "new" obsession - and that calls for a party! Madeline Bean and her charming partner Wesley Westcott are determined to throw a gonzo Chinese New Year banquet. But among the hot mah-jongg tiles, the steamy dim sum, and the frosty Singapore slings, no one expects to find one of the players ice-cold dead!

Meanwhile, in one of the historic celebrity mansions that Wesley is restoring as a sideline, a well-aimed crowbar uncovers a stash of precious objects - including an antique mah-jongg set. As Madeline pieces together how these two events are connected, she must separate the yin from the yang to uncover a killer. It doesn't take a fortune cookie to spell it out. There is always a price to pay...whether gambling at mah-jongg - or murder.
