Kelleen reviews Mooncakes by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link At the risk of being profoundly cliche (and profoundly redundant as I reviewed a graphic novel last month), I’ve decided to review Mooncakes.

Clement Vanderbridge is acting suspiciously; he’s a well-known architect in prohibition-era New York and famously teetotal, but disappears every Friday night only to turn up smelling of alcohol and cigarettes.
