This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Nosy shopkeeper turned amateur detective Vera Wong can’t resist solving a murder, even while she’s on vacation, in this delightful mystery from USA Today bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto.
Chinese mother and detective extraordinaire Vera Wong delights in meddling, which happily has led her to solve not one, but two murders. And the internet seems to agree that she has found her calling in sleuthing. It’s the ideal side hobby for when Vera isn’t running her teahouse in bustling San Francisco. So is her recent discovery of the joys of social media, where she shares updates about the teahouse—and her cases—with her millions of followers.
All that work has earned Vera a much-deserved break. A Parisian vacation, to be exact. Though it helps that this vacation is almost entirely funded by the loads of gifts that her fans keep sending as tokens of their adoration. How could she have known that accepting free accommodation at a gorgeous apartment in Paris would result in a dead man lying in the middle of her Airbnb?
Clearly, it’s a sign that this murder needs Vera’s own unique brand of sleuthing. But this case might be a challenge even for Vera, as she uncovers that the victim was tangled up with a mob boss who now seems to have his sights set on her. Good thing there’s no case a little meddling can’t solve. . . .
