博客來 《Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers》暖心續作
茶館老太太Vera回來了，這回她又遇上了棘手案件！
自從Vera的茶館裡發現一具男性屍體後，日子就變得非常美好。Vera的意思是，自那件事件之後的生活，她身邊就被所愛之人圍繞，而且店裡的生意也變得高朋滿座。最重要的是，她的兒子Tilly終於交了女朋友！而且兒子的女友不是別人，正是上次一起偵辦案件的警官Selena。不過儘管日子一切如意，Vera還是有點渴望自己的茶館裡再次出現另一具屍體…
這時候Vera剛好遇到年輕女孩Millie，她正在找一個失蹤的朋友。顯然，她需要Vera充滿智慧的建議。幸運的是，當Vera去幫兒子照顧貓咪時，她發現了一個『寶庫』—兒子女友的公事包，裡面一份文件，是關於一個神秘網紅的死亡報告，而最巧的，就是這個神秘網紅正是年輕女孩在找的朋友。
在網路上，Xander擁有所有人都羨慕的人生：私人飛機、充斥著名流的奢華派對、蒸蒸日上的網紅事業。然而，當他的屍體被打撈上岸後，警察卻無法辨識他真正的身份。沒有人知道Xander Lin是誰，所有的聯絡方式都走向死胡同，甚至連他的父母親都聲稱不認識他！
Vera決定重出江湖，插手這次的案件。畢竟這也是為了未來的兒媳婦幫一個大忙！(文／博客來外文館)
Vera Wong is back and as meddling as ever in this follow-up to the hit Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers....
Ever since a man was found dead in Vera’s teahouse, life has been good. For Vera that is. She’s surrounded by loved ones, her shop is bustling, and best of all, her son, Tilly, has a girlfriend! All thanks to Vera, because Tilly’s girlfriend is none other than Officer Selena Gray. The very same Officer Gray that she had harassed while investigating the teahouse murder. Still, Vera wishes more dead bodies would pop up in her shop, but one mustn’t be ungrateful, even if one is slightly...bored.
Then Vera comes across a distressed young woman who is obviously in need of her kindly guidance. The young woman is looking for a missing friend. Fortunately, while cat-sitting at Tilly and Selena’s, Vera finds a treasure trove: Selena’s briefcase. Inside is a file about the death of an enigmatic influencer--who also happens to be the friend that the young woman was looking for.
Online, Xander had it all: a parade of private jets, fabulous parties with socialites, and a burgeoning career as a social media influencer. The only problem is, after his body is fished out of Mission Bay, the police can’t seem to actually identify him. Who is Xander Lin? Nobody knows. Every contact is a dead end. Everybody claims not to know him, not even his parents.
Vera is determined to solve Xander’s murder. After all, doing so would surely be a big favor to Selena, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for her future daughter-in-law.
