Korte biografie: Vivien Chien first started writing simple stories about adventures with her classmates when she was in elementary school. As she grew up, her love of books and the written word increased, leading to the attempt of her first novel at age 16. After many struggled beginnings and several different genres, she found her passion in the mystery world.

When she's not writing, she can be found frolicking in the bookstore or searching for her next bowl of noodles. She has a soft spot for doughnuts, a healthy love for coffee, and an extreme need to participate in random acts of crafting.

She currently lives in Cleveland where she is hard at work on her next book in the Noodle Shop series.

Was the wrong woman warned and shot?
It was supposed to be a fun lunar new year celebration until one of the dance company was shot and an Omen of Death was found in her pocket. Lana has family and friends making her crazy because some do NOT want her investigating, while others (including the Mahjong Matrons) urging her on! Another twisty cozy in this delightful series!

Fatal Fried Rice: A Noodle Shop Mystery (A Noodle… door Vivien Chien

I really wanted to like this book, but just really didn't. I love the premise of the plot surrounding the mystery: the main character is the manager of her family's Chinese restaurant but can't cook, so she sneaks off to take cooking lessons to surprise everyone with. That part was fun, and totally relatable. But the murder part was both super predictable and less interesting than it should have been, and I found myself enjoying the side characters much less than usual for this series.

Another fun mystery in the Noodle Shop Mystery series. There were a lot of new characters in this mystery and they were all "interesting" people that seemed more worried about their own interests then the murders.
