Star-Crossed Egg Tarts — Jennifer J. Chow

Felicity Jin returns in the second book in the heart-warming and deliciously mysterious Magical Fortune Cookie series from Lilian Jackson Braun Award-nominee Jennifer J. Chow.

Jin Bakery has been asked to cater the Lum-Wu outdoor wedding at Pixie Park. The day of the ceremony, Felicity is finishing the “cake” of tiered egg tarts as the wedding party arrives for the ceremony. When one of the groomsmen, Miles Wu, doesn't arrive, Felicity's best friend and local florist Kelvin generously steps in for him and the wedding goes smoothly -- until cake cutting time.

That's when Felicity finds Miles' dead body beneath the table with her egg tarts display, stabbed by Kelvin's gardening shears. With the detective's sights on Kelvin, Felicity starts sleuthing away to prove his innocence, revealing dark secrets about all the wedding's attendants. They each had something to hide -- and a reason to quiet Miles forever. To make matters worse, Felicity's powers of prediction are on the fritz thanks to the emotional turmoil of a surprise visit from her estranged father.

When the groom gets poisoned at the send-off party and winds up in a coma, the stakes are even higher, not to mention Felicity's feelings for Kelvin are beginning to feel more than friendly. Will Felicity's magic return in time to catch the true culprit and rescue her budding relationship with Kelvin?
