Vera Wong is a 60 year old busybody, tea shop owner/ tea pusher) and amateur sleuth.

Vera was such a great character. She was determined to solve the crime that took place in her tea shop and goes all out in her investigations. She gives herself pep talks and seems to seek out all the drama. She even keeps her own little murder notebook. She is a bit of a bother to Officer Gray who calls her CSI educated and wishes she would go away let her handle the case!

Vera was described as an elderly, frail "old lady" , but I thought she was energetic and lively!

This one is on the lighter/cozy side, but beware there is a bit of swearing if that bothers you (not squeaky clean).

I was anxious to learn who the killer was and who would solve the case, but the journey and following Vera along the way is what kept me reading! The tea shop setting was also a plus.

Thanks Libby for the listen! Narrated by Eunice Wong/ 10 hours, 41 min
