The Verifiers by Jane Pek
4.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Loved this so much! I loved the mixed between a Chinese immigrant family, culture, and values and solving crime. I think trying to figure out life and being apart of many intersections caused the characters to be so fixated on solving a mystery.

I love a story that is told by an amateur sleuth. I love characters who have family that they do and do not agree with. It adds to the complexity of the story. The more the MC explored online dating made me think critically of the decisions I’ve made in the past. I hope to get more cases by this amateur sleuth.
