Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (On a Dead Man) (Vera Wong, #2)

by Jesse Q. Sutanto

Sometimes, all an old lady wants is a murder to solve. Is that too much to ask for?

When she was young, Vera had tried for a bit to be the kind of girl that squeals instead of squawks. But now that she is in her sixties, she’s given up trying to remove the squawk. The squawk is here to stay, she might as well embrace it. And she does. The one she emits now is particularly impressive, conveying shock, rage, and fear all at once.

“I don’t know why you young people always overthink these things. If you find a boy sexy, just tell him!” Anyway…

“OMG it’s fall season! Give me a PSL, STAT!”

Maybe she was a little bit in love with him. Or maybe she was just in love with the idea of him.

Maybe the most responsible thing a parent can do is to be themselves. To show their kids who they really are.
