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.

Kevyttä iltalukemista

4 stars

Mukavasti kirjoitettu kevyt kirja, jossa omalaatuinen kahvilanpitäjä ratkoo murhamysteeriä.

Kirjan hahmot ovat kaikki omalla tavallaan rikki, eikä kukaan ole täydellinen. Kaikista myös paljastuu uusia asioita kirjan edetessä niin, että kirja pitää otteessaan loppuun asti.

Välillä tuli nälkä, kun kirjassa kuvaillaan maukkaita kiinalaisia ruokia. Ja teetä teki mieli, kun tapahtumat olivat enimmäkseen siinä teehuoneella.

Cute

I would only recommend the audiobook version of this novel. The narration from Eunice Wong for Vera and all the characters are amazing. The writing is just okay. Not the strongest. Story too. Everything is sort of basic. Nothing too special. I couldn't feel very invested in the characters but it is a cozier, easy read.

This cover is so cool and cute at the same time

I really enjoyed this more than Dial A for Aunties, the author mixed interesting and funny characters, all relatable in some areas, a mystery ofc (that I only half guessed), lots of delicious food and interesting bits about teas and their flavors haha, and a little found family and interesting dynamics, very cute
