Description

Gusty winds...and a trail of destruction.

Graduate student Raina Sun thought she knew what she was getting herself into when she volunteered to take the new foreign exchange student shopping on the last weekend before Christmas. But between a riot for the last hot toy of the season and an abandoned baby, the holiday is a season for mayhem, and sometimes it doesn't pay to be a Good Samaritan.

Raina wants to reunite the infant with his family, but calling the mysterious phone number in the diaper bag leads to more questions than answers. A strange man claims to be the child's father, and his alleged mother turns up dead.  

The local police are more interested in keeping the town's good name out of international news than considering if there's foul play. And to make matters worse, she has less than a week to find his real parents before the FBI takes over the case.

Raina summons her sleuthing skills to protect this baby and soon discovers everyone has a few skeletons in their closets. With her pimp-cane-toting grandma, she faces an ex-boyfriend bringing sexy back as well as a murderer determined to hide the truth.

    The second reading of this entry in the Raina Sun mystery series was just as fun and twisted as the first time! Grad student Raina, filling in for a friend at work, becomes embroiled in a clever business scheme that, unfortunately, results in a death. Throw in an extended family with animosity over what they deem as an unfair inheritance, and an on-again/off-again love affair, and Raina once again has her hands full! This in another must read for fans of author Anne Tan!

    The lead character, Raina, is a wonderfully developed character. Her boyfriend, Matthew, is confusing and difficult to incorporate into Raina’s life. If that was intentional, it was well done. Po Po is who I want to be! But I don’t have the energy... The storyline became confusing with so many dead ends and unused characters. The story was interesting and held a current news story of value.

    Grandma Po Po is a sort of Chinese auntie Mame. Where will Raina and Matthew's relationship go as the series develops? I absolutely never guessed the twist at the end. Look forward to reading the rest of this series
  • Loved it!
