This was a cute read. I need a visit from the Auntie distribution center, though. Vera was a great character, confident and pushy and unashamed of who she is. I really need to take a look into Chinese tea now. It was an easy read and didn't have a whole lot of complexity to it. This was more cozy, I didn't get tension through the book at all. I knew who the murderer was about a quarter of the way through the book and I don't know if that detracted from some of the tension or not. Still cute, and really probably a great read for someone who's trying to venture into the realm of mystery books.

Review of "Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers" on 'Goodreads'

So if you read mysteries a lot, many of the plot twists will be easily guessed and there is nothing special here. I am also not sure how the stereotype of a tiger grandmama will land, and I was meh about the battered wife stereotype too. However, this book was like chewing a piece of bubble gum while walking down the sidewalk on a partly cloudy day-harmless, pointless and cheerful. It put me in a good mood, did not stress me out whatsoever, and was real palate cleanser after the grim and drab scenery I had just trudged through in Diane Cook's The New Wilderness. I am glad that this book was written, and grateful for the escape it provided me, and I hope that Vera solves more murders.
