A stranger is found dead in Vera’s World Famous Tea House which is old, shabby and only visited by one old man. Vera is a busy body who decides she will help the police solve the murder. And while doing so she creates relationships and helps a verity of lost young adults. Fun and the Audible reader was terrific. ( ) Well this was fun. Vera Wong is a 60ish woman who owns a teashop in San Francisco's Chinatown. She spends more time trying to micromanage her grown son than she spends dealing with the very occasional patron at her teashop. When she discovers a dead body in the shop one morning, Vera decides to help the police solve what she's sure is a murder. She helpfully draws an outline of the body on the floor with a sharpie and steals the flash drive the dead man has in his hand. Soon she's in full detective mode and narrows her suspects list to four people. She brings them together and tries to determine which is the killer. Before long the group has become friends and Vera begins to dread that one of her new friends might be a killer. Vera Wong's Unsolicited Guide for Murderers by Jesse Q Sutanto is a slow paced thriller with an amateur woman sleuth, Vera Wong. The book is horribly slow with bad characters. At some places the plot doesn't even makes sense. The first few pages were good but Vera Wong's character made it unbearable. The suspects even look like one, and our woman sleuth was too much nosy. The plot had too many loopholes to digest the facts. I have read this book as a part of #52booksin52weeks challenge. It was really a challenge reaching the end. I had high hopes for the book but everything turned out to be so disappointing. The book deserves 2 stars. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: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 ladyâ??ah, lady of a certain ageâ??who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Franciscoâ??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 thingâ??a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesnâ??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 Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
