About this listen

Vera Wong is back and as meddling as ever in this follow-up to the hit Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers.

Ever since a man was found dead in Vera's teahouse, life has been good. For Vera that is. She’s surrounded by loved ones, her shop is bustling, and best of all, her son, Tilly, has a girlfriend! All thanks to Vera, because Tilly's girlfriend is none other than Officer Selena Gray. The very same Officer Gray that she had harassed while investigating the teahouse murder. Still, Vera wishes more dead bodies would pop up in her shop, but one mustn't be ungrateful, even if one is slightly...bored.

Then Vera comes across a distressed young woman who is obviously in need of her kindly guidance. The young woman is looking for a missing friend. Fortunately, while cat-sitting at Tilly and Selena's, Vera finds a treasure trove: Selena's briefcase. Inside is a file about the death of an enigmatic influencer—who also happens to be the friend that the young woman was looking for.

Online, Xander had it all: a parade of private jets, fabulous parties with socialites, and a burgeoning career as a social media influencer. The only problem is, after his body is fished out of Mission Bay, the police can't seem to actually identify him. Who is Xander Lin? Nobody knows. Every contact is a dead end. Everybody claims not to know him, not even his parents.

Vera is determined to solve Xander's murder. After all, doing so would surely be a big favor to Selena, and there is nothing she wouldn't do for her future daughter-in-law.

Die-hard Vera Wang Fan

I like everything about Vera! The world would be a better place with more Veras in it. She is brash, bold, confident, speaks her mind, and a force or nature...she has stick-to-it-ivity and won't let herself be dissuaded once she is on the trail. I like the way she accepts everyone as they are and invites them into her sphere and once you are in her orbit, her gravitational force keeps you there.

5*

Honestly a complete masterpiece. Usually I find myself get frustrated and impatient with murder mystery stories, but this one I was intrigued and on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Vera’s manipulation of the English language is hilarious.

Love the way positive relationships are intertwined as the plot unfolds. Didn’t think the author could produce an even better book but she did and I can’t wait for the next publication.

Wonderful again!

Vera’s back and fantastic as ever! Absolutely brilliant performance! I hope she writes more. If you need a great book to remind you there is still good in the world, this is perfect. We all need a Vera in our lives.

Not a bad sequel

I love Vera and her chosen family. This was a little formulaic and not as good as the first book - but it’s not a bad sequel.

Didn't want it to end!

I didn't believe this time around the story could be as good as the first book. Can't wait to hear what Grandma will do in Europe, will she even go? Or will she just make a cup of sweet jasmine tea. 🤔

Vera is the best.

I love Vera and her ever-expanding found family. I laughed, I cried, I got hungry for dumplings. Another A+ narration by Eunice Wong. I hope there will be more Vera mysteries!
