I’ve been obsessed with Jesse Q. Sutanto’s books since I picked up Dial A for Aunties. She’s great at writing light-hearted, funny mysteries with a great cast of characters. When I heard that she was writing a standalone mystery, I couldn’t wait to pick it up. With this novel she hits on one of my favorite murder mystery genres: sassy old ladies solving mysteries. Check out what I thought of this new one!
Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
TWO SENTENCE SUMMARY
When Vera Wong finds a dead man on the floor of her tea shop, she knows exactly what to do: solve the murder. What she doesn’t expect is the number of suspects who turn up and end up being roped into her investigation.
WHAT I LIKED MOST AND WHAT FRUSTRATED ME
What I liked most was the whole story! Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murders kept me laughing the entire way as the characters try to figure out how to handle Vera and Vera tries to figure out who the killer is. This was such a fun mystery and I enjoyed it so much.
What frustrated me is that I don’t know if a second book is coming. Sutanto says that this idea kind of just came to her and she put off working on her other books to get this one out. So does that mean there will be a second? Who knows! Sutanto has so many other books coming out, it could be a while before we find out about this one.
RECOMMENDED FOR
Anyone who is a fan of cozy mysteries, the sassy older folks, and a multiple POVs in a book.
STAR RATING
BACKLIST BUMP
Obviously you need to check out Sutanto’s book Dial A for Aunties. The Thursday Murder Club is also a great series for sassy older folks solving mysteries.
