Waterstones Says

Hilarious, charming and fiendish in equal measure, Sutano’s superb mystery finds sixty-something entrepreneur-amateur sleuth Vera Wong springing into action when she stumbles on a body in the middle of her tea shop.

Shortlisted for the CrimeFest Last Laugh Award 2024

Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger 2024

Tea-shop owner. Matchmaker. Detective?

Sixty-year-old self-proclaimed tea expert Vera Wong enjoys nothing more than sipping a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy 'detective' work on the internet (AKA checking up on her son to see if he's dating anybody yet).

But when Vera wakes up one morning to find a dead man in the middle of her tea shop, it's going to take more than a strong Longjing to fix things. Knowing she'll do a better job than the police possibly could - because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands - Vera decides it's down to her to catch the killer.

Nobody spills the tea like this amateur sleuth.
