What this book is about
Vera Wong is the proud proprietor of Vera Wong's World Famous Taiwanese American Tea Shop in San Francisco — and the most meddlesome woman in her neighborhood. When she discovers a dead body in her store one morning, she does the only logical thing: pockets a piece of evidence before the police arrive and sets about solving the murder herself. Vera's investigation involves inviting the suspects in for tea, dispensing unsolicited advice, and deploying the full force of her personality. Jesse Q. Sutanto's cozy mystery is warm, funny, and entirely charmed — driven by a protagonist who is impossible to argue with and utterly endearing.
