About the book

'Vera Wong is my new favourite sleuth' Elle CosimanoPut the kettle on, there's a mystery brewing...Tea-shop owner. Matchmaker. Detective?Sixty-year-old self-proclaimed tea expert Vera Wong enjoys nothing more than sipping a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy 'detective' work on the internet (AKA checking up on her son to see if he's dating anybody yet).But when Vera wakes up one morning to find a dead man in the middle of her tea shop, it's going to take more than a strong Longjing to fix things. Knowing she'll do a better job than the police possibly could - because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands - Vera decides it's down to her to catch the killer.Nobody spills the tea like this amateur sleuth.USA Today Bestseller and Edgar Award WinnerPraise for Jesse Sutanto'Had me laughing aloud within its first five pages.

    writing style a little too repetitive for my taste, the audio book was very well performed/read if it wasn't for the audio experience i would have DNF'd because the plot just wasn't very engaging to me and I wasn't invested in any of the characters

    This was an absolute banger of an audiobook! First I was sceptical with the main character, but soon you will fall in love with all of them. Vera is an old, chinese woman, her husband already died and her son is out and about. She has her own tea shop. Everything is fine until she finds a dead man in her shop. She is convinced that this was murder, but the police does think differently, so she decides to take the case into her own hands. With that, a lot of new people come into her life. The way how the people interact, the conversations and ALL THE EMOTIONS omg It is just wholesome and so human. Funny but also mysterious. A cozy lovely mystery. Perfect for autumn

    This had so much potential! I really liked Vera; she was adorable, funny, and sometimes overbearing. So the multiple POVs, which weren't nearly distinct enough to give the characters their own voices, just robbed pages I could've spent in Vera's head. I didn't need the romance part, and the forced cozy found family trope unnecessarily distracted from the case.
