Publisher's Summary

The new must-listen 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

Great read

It was unexpected novel that had laughter, joy, family, forgiveness and reconciliation all rolled into one and how one woman was able to bring all those people together was great. I mean Vera reminded me of someone else in my life. In saying that this novel was quite exciting I couldn’t stop listening to to it. I finished it in two days.

Excellent mystery novel

I really enjoyed the setting of this book, it was refreshing. a word of warning however that this book does discuss emotional abuse and manipulation.

Like a warm hug from your grandma

This book was so comforting to me with so many parallels to my own grandmother. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and all the characters were so wonderfully developed.

So loved this book

This book was a cracker. I must admit, I started listening and hit a wall. I gave it a couple of weeks and tried again and I am so glad I did. So engaging - great story and narration. I am looking forward to more from this author. Everyone needs a Vera Wong /Wang in their lives. Thank you!

So entertaining

This book was incredibly entertaining. It was funnier than I anticipated and the story was captivating, she kept me guessing who the murdered was til the very end. What a great, heartwarming book that the narrator told in a great way.

Excellent narration!!!!

I really enjoyed the characters, the story and the mystery of this book. There was nothing gory or frightening but it hooked me enough that I wanted to know who was the killer and how are they all connected? You will be very hungry after reading this book. All the talk of food had me salivating many times and I’m now off to go and have some Chinese. A great read you won’t be disappointed.
