A fascinating blend of plot, atmosphere, strong characters and rapier-like writing.

What a heartwarming book about coming into one's own and found family. The characters were absolutely enchanting (even grumpy Jamie). While the plot wasn't overly original, the book was well executed. Quite simply, it was a delightful read.

Please comment recommendations of similar books/ other cozy mysteries!

rwmg TBH I preferred the same author's Dial A For Aunties. 3w
LiteraryinLawrence I think this one would fall into that category! 2w

Just finished this audio book and it continuously made me laugh out loud! A unique and funny story with well rounded characters about a murder in a Chinese tea shop and the unlikely friendships formed from it. I learned this genre is called "cozy mystery," and I'm on the hunt for more of these!
5 stars! ?????
If you have a library card, you can listen for free on the Libby app. ?

LiteraryinLawrence I‘ve been on hold for the audiobook from my library for a few weeks. Glad to hear it‘ll be worth the wait! 3w

Was 50 outside!
The book was slow with mystery abound between the 5 characters. wasn‘t blown away, thou did enjoy it. Love how Faizal writes her women. Nice vampire culture. Arthie is an orphan immigrant who finds a way to fight against the system through a heist. The heist didn‘t feel much like one, and while I love revelations, they didn‘t fit in the big picture. Until the ending where I threw up hands. Final 50 pages is where it all came to 🫖

This YA is getting great buzz. It's the 1st of a duology featuring vampires and is being compared to Six of Crows.

julesG It's good. 1mo

Vera Wong finds a dead body in her tea shop. Since the police don't seem to be taking it seriously, she decides to investigate, starting with some unexpected visitors to the tea shop as her suspects.

It was funny, but mostly variations on a single joke - Vera's ability to cow or coax people round her into doing what she wanted. Not as good as the Aunties books
