Praise for Ovidia Yu: “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 “In Yu’s energetic second Singaporean mystery . . . Aunty Lee and her social circle are as vibrantly colorful as the locale.” Publishers Weekly “This delicious sophomore entry in Yu’s sassy series has the quaint accessibility, colorful characters and quotidian detail of a traditional cozy but also a slyly bracing edge.” Kirkus Reviews “For her second Aunty Lee novel, Yu has cooked up another tasty mystery.” New York Post
