Killer Kung Pao

** spoiler alert **
           There were two problems with this mystery: pacing and suspects. The set up for this murder is just so random that it didn't have the usual slow burn that builds up a particular character to be the victim and a small set of other characters who all have the motive to kill. Without that initial set up, one that typically takes around fifty pages of a book this length (280 pages), Lana is left to just interrogate everyone she hasn't vetted from previous books. Although in longer running series, such as the Book Town Mysteries by Lorna Barrett, recurring characters can and do become murderers.
