It really looks like a packet of instant noodles, doesn’t it?

And that’s fitting because this is the fifth Taipei Night Market novel from Ed Lin, and its protagonist is a chef at a food stall. I’m betting Jing-nan serves noodles and stinky tofu (we reckon) as well as solving crimes.

Watch our short video to find out more about the book.

If you’re intrigued, grab a copy with our Amazon link below and/or watch out for our review of the book, coming soon. The Dead Can’t Make a Living is published on 7 April in the US by Soho Crime.
