Vera Wong, proprietor of "Vera Wang's World Famous Teahouse" in Chinatown, only has one regular customer these days. The place is run-down and a bit grimy. She's lonley, and her son doesn't seem to spend much time with her. She's surprised when she goes down one morning and finds a corpse in her tea room. Before the police arrive, she very helpful outlines the corpse's body in Sharpie and takes the only piece of evidence that might make the police think it is murder. She has watched this on TV. How hard can it be? The perpetrator is likely to revisit the scene of the crime. She immediately comes up with suspects--a man saying he is a reporter, a woman saying she has a true crime podcast, the man's brother, and the man's widow who was accompanied by their small daughter. She begins her process of elimination. Readers (and listeners) will be amused by the story as it unfolds. As Vera gets to know her suspects, she doesn't really want it to be any of them. I figured it out early on A stranger is found dead in Vera’s World Famous Tea House which is old, shabby and only visited by one old man. Vera is a busy body who decides she will help the police solve the murder. And while doing so she creates relationships and helps a verity of lost young adults. Fun and the Audible reader was terrific. Well this was fun. Vera Wong is a 60ish woman who owns a teashop in San Francisco's Chinatown. She spends more time trying to micromanage her grown son than she spends dealing with the very occasional patron at her teashop. When she discovers a dead body in the shop one morning, Vera decides to help the police solve what she's sure is a murder. She helpfully draws an outline of the body on the floor with a sharpie and steals the flash drive the dead man has in his hand. Soon she's in full detective mode and narrows her suspects list to four people. She brings them together and tries to determine which is the killer. Before long the group has become friends and Vera begins to dread that one of her new friends might be a killer. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:A lonely shopkeeper takes it upon herself to solve a murder in the most peculiar way in this captivating mystery by Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties. Vera Wong is a lonely little old ladyâ??ah, lady of a certain ageâ??who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Franciscoâ??s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thingâ??a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesnâ??t know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would 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 knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer. What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them. As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
