Aunty Lee's delights (2013)

Rosie “Aunty” Lee uses her Singapore restaurant, friendships and habit of feeding people to notice connections the police may miss. A missing dinner guest and a discovered body draw together family ambitions, tourists and people keeping important parts of their lives private. Yu’s warmth allows room for money, status and prejudice. Start with this series opening if you want an engaging busybody whose knowledge grows out of sustained contact with her neighbours.
