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?
