The new must-read cozy crime mystery from the bestselling author of Dial A For Aunties
Put 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.
Knives Out meets Kim's Convenience for anyone who loves solving mysteries by Richard Osman and Janice Hallett, and watching Death in Paradise and Marlow Murder Club.
'Jesse Sutanto has created a great comic character in Vera. If you thought murder couldn't be warm-hearted, hilarious and have a twist, think again' Fiona Leitch, bestselling author of A Cornish Christmas Murder
'A really heartwarming read' Faith Martin
'I thoroughly loved it. With a Vera in your life nothing bad can ever happen!' J. M. Hall, bestselling author of A Spoonful of Murder
