Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man)
The must-read cozy crime from the bestselling author of Dial A For Aunties
Put the kettle on, there’s a mystery brewing…
Tea-shop owner. Matchmaker. Detective?
Vera Wong, tea house owner and occasional sleuth should feel content. Her son Tilly has moved in with his girlfriend, and the shop has been inundated with customers.
But Vera can’t help feeling a little… bored. Sometimes, all an old lady wants is a murder to solve. Is that too much to ask for?
Then Vera comes across a distressed young woman called Millie, whose friend Xander has gone missing. Is this Vera’s chance to get out her trusty notebook and solve another mystery?
Knives Out meets Kim’s Convenience for anyone who loves solving mysteries by Richard Osman and Janice Hallett, and watching Death in Paradise and Marlow Murder Club.
