***Don't miss the second book in the series, Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man), out now!***
Put the kettle on, there's a mystery brewing...
'Vera Wong is my new favourite sleuth' Elle Cosimano
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.
USA Today Bestseller and Edgar Award Winner
