A lonely shopkeeper takes it upon herself to solve a murder in the most peculiar way in this captivating mystery by Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties.
Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady-ah, lady of a certain age-who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco's Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to.
Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing-a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn't know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would 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 knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer.
What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them. As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks to the police?

Since Dial A for Aunties, I’ve been a fan of Jesse Q. Sutanto, and I’ll happily recommend her books to anyone (or anyone in the Book Circle Community). So when I had the chance to read Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, I didn’t even hesitate. And once again, Sutanto completely delivered!
While Dial A for Aunties is a full-blown slapstick comedy where one disaster snowballs into an entire family’s dumpster fire (plus a bit of romance), Vera Wong takes a slightly different route. It’s still packed with humor, but it’s a ‘quieter’, cozier mystery. One that hooks you just as much with the whodunit as it does with the warm, chaotic creation of a found family. Vera’s (a meddling, sharp-witted, tea-slinging Chinese grandmother turned amateur sleuth) an absolute delight! I laughed through the entire book, felt my heart warm, and loved reading the story through the chapters (‘views’) of each character.
Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers is the kind of story that feels like a comfort read while still giving you a satisfying mystery to solve. If you want a day spent in the company of an unforgettable grandmother, a colorful cast, and a murder, do yourself a favor and pick up this book.
