Book Review: Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto

Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vera Wong lives in Chinatown in San Francisco and is the owner of Vera Wang's World-Famous Teahouse (hoping to capitalize on Vera Wang's name recognition!). One morning she discovers a dead man lying in the middle of her shop. Anxious to assist the police, she draws a white marker around the body, takes the flash drive from the dead man's hand, makes the tea which will clear their minds, and keeps asking about when they will take fingerprints. Frustrated with their inaction, she decides to take detective matters into her own hands.

Vera encounters four individuals who are each linked to the dead man in some way and may also appear to be guilty of the crime. The group ends up developing a familial-like friendship and hilarity ensues as they try to solve the crime together. This is a charming, warmhearted, cozy mystery and I loved learning more about each of the characters. It was a very quick read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
