'Had me laughing aloud within its first five pages. Charming, hilarious and heartfelt' Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read
Life is good for sixty-year-old teashop owner and amateur sleuth, Vera Wong. Her teashop is bustling, and her son, Tilly, finally has a girlfriend! Still, Vera can't help but wish for some excitement and adventure. Sometimes all an old lady wants is a murder to solve...
Then Vera comes across a distressed young woman in need of her kindly guidance. The woman is looking for her missing friend Xander. Online, he appeared to have it all: a parade of private jets, fabulous parties with socialites, and a burgeoning career as a social media influencer.
When Xander turns up dead, it seems he isn't who he claimed to be. The police have no leads, but Vera intends to uncover the truth in the only way that this Chinese mother knows how: by spilling the tea.
