Second book even better than the first!!! So Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers was an interesting first mystery novel by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I enjoyed reading it but was not sure I was looking forward to another book about Vera Wong.
But now I am hooked and I am already looking forward to another in this series. Vera Wong has grown on me. Her cute word plays and obvious misunderstanding of the English language and especially any new saying and clever sayings of the Gen Y group of young people.
Also though the mysteries are clever and the writing style is wonderful, there is something very endearing about Vera Wong. It is what the people she meets feeel about her. They are not sure why but they fall in love with her and are willing to do whatever she asks of them. Well by the end of book two I also feel that wasy about Vera. I was crying real tears as the sad and lonely characters in this book found love and acceptance. How so many people from different backgrounds come together to eat the mouthwatering food and tea that Vera prepares in her restaurant.
