Exclusive Excerpt: Mimi Lee Reads Between The Lines by Jennifer J. Chow

This November, Mimi Lee is back in MIMI LEE READS BETWEEN THE LINES (Berkley Prime Crime Trade Paperback Original; November 10, 2020) and her story is once again full of pet grooming shenanigans, delicious Malaysian meals with her family, and intense sleuthing missions. This next instalment follows Mimi as she finds herself in an another absolutely pawful predicament. But this time, it’s her younger sister’s livelihood on the line.

Mimi Lee is on top of the world. She has a thriving pet grooming business, the sweetest boyfriend, and a talking cat to boot. When she arrives at the elementary school where her sister, Alice, works, she’s expecting a fun girls’ night out–but instead finds a teacher slumped over in her car, dead.

Alice was the last one to see Helen Reed, which instantly marks her as the prime suspect. Unable to sit quietly and let the authorities walk all over her sister, Mimi starts snooping and talks to Helen’s closest contacts, including one jumpy principal, a two-faced fiancé, and three sketchy teachers. The clock’s ticking for Mimi–with the help of her sassy but savvy cat, Marshmallow, and a cute kitten named Nimbus–to get to the bottom of yet another case before her sister gets schooled.
