Put the kettle on, there\u2019s a mystery brewing\u2026
\nTea-shop owner. Matchmaker. Detective?<\/p>\n

Sixty-year-old self-proclaimed tea expert Vera Wong enjoys nothing more than sipping a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy \u2018detective\u2019 work on the internet (AKA checking up on her son to see if he\u2019s dating anybody yet).<\/p>\n

But when Vera wakes up one morning to find a dead man in the middle of her tea shop, it\u2019s going to take more than a strong Longjing to fix things. Knowing she\u2019ll do a better job than the police possibly could \u2013 because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands \u2013 Vera decides it\u2019s down to her to catch the killer.<\/p>\n

Nobody spills the tea like this amateur sleuth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
