Many thanks to my friends at @prhaudio for the #gifted audiobook.

 

“Because nobody sniffs out wrongdoing like a Chinese mother with time on her hands.”

 

Heartwarming and hysterical! Grab a cup of oolong and let this laugh-out-loud funny, cozy mystery envelop you!

 

When a dead body is found in Vera Wong’s World Famous Tea House, the lonely owner is thrust into a search to find a killer.  With eccentric methodology… Vera’s best interrogation technique involves the usage of a food coma… she is determined to solve the mystery in which the police seem oblivious. 

 

I absolutely adored Iona Iverson last year… eccentric main character, quirky troupe of secondary characters, and a heartwarming storyline that kept me turning pages.  

 

As I read Vera Wong, I had that same uplifting feeling.  Found family is my catnip, and it didn’t take long to see how this unconventional group would come together.  

 

Sutanto created a unique cast for this novel, but it was Vera who really stood out!  Nosy and overbearing, the meddling Chinese mom had me laughing out loud and rolling my eyes.  Vera was a HOOT, and by the end of the book, I wanted her to give me some advice too.  

 

If you’re in the market for a witty read that’s heartfelt, look no further!  

 

🎧 I listened to this one on audio, and Eunice Wong’s narration captured Vera’s essence and brought her to life in a vivid portrayal!  To be fair, she gave a distinct, enjoyable voice to all of the characters.  But to me, Wong’s voice will forever be Vera Wong.
