Halloween Bingo 2022
Aunty Rosie Lee is the delight in this book. She is an older lady who has a shrewd view of her world, a lively mind, a calm demeanor, and a powerful desire to see that right is done. She knows the power of being an elderly woman and not only embraces it but is willing to weaponize it. She is a Singaporean Miss Marple with a small restaurant and her devoted helper Nina, who is Watson to Aunty's Holmes.
Poor Senior Staff Sergeant Samir doesn't know what's hit him. He suddenly has Aunty Lee showing up in his office with delicious food (don't worry, there's food for everyone, no one will be jealous) and with hot information. Like the police in the more recent The Thursday Murder Club, he learns to just go with it, because he is dealing with someone who gets things done!
I am glad to see that there are more Aunty Lee books available. I can hardly wait to see what this lively lady gets up to next. Aunty Lee is my Amateur Sleuth for Halloween Bingo.
