Whodunnits In-Person
WhoDunnits is a discussion group devoted to mysteries of all kinds. The group explores a diverse array of subgenres, geographic locations, and historical periods. Though occasionally members are encouraged to share a mystery they've read (Free Reads), most months focus on a single book read by the whole group. The WhoDunnits mystery book club meets on the first Tuesday of the month.
This month's read: Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers
When she discovers a dead man in the middle of her tea shop, Vera Wong, a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands, calls the police but not before swiping the flash drive from the body, setting a trap for the killer that becomes complicated by unexpected friendships with her customers.
These atmospheric culinary mysteries star Vera Wong, a nosy 60-year-old Chinese woman who owns a tea shop in San Francisco. Part of the fun is Vera's no-nonsense approach to life as she uncovers clues about suspicious incidents. Readers will enjoy the funny shenanigans dotted with heartfelt moments and the dynamics of likeable and flawed characters.
"Sutanto excels at creating lovably flawed characters, the mystery has plenty of twists to keep readers guessing, and Vera's case notes at the end of some chapters add humor to the deductive process." -- Library Journal
