The Mimosa Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu

dark informative tense fast-paced

4.5

I enjoyed this as a cute cozy mystery series but this book got very real - in a great way! It is quite challenging to write beloved characters and then remove them from action entirely, but Su Lin is such a compelling protagonist that I would really follow her anywhere. I am obsessed with Ovidia Yu and her ability to tell a story that is sweet and heartfelt as well as tense and scary and high stakes. I would read EVERYTHING by this writer!
